Story behind the song
'Revenge is a dish best served cold'
Lyrics
Rosary running through my fingers Hang it up on the rear view mirror Match a cigarette Crack the quarter-light open And any time I get to feeling, Feeling that I’m owed something by this life I take a long look, a long look At the nails they drove Through Jesus’s hands With pistol in hand In cold fury do I come And I shall fall on you in retribution For what you done For what you done This falling cold sure feels like to snow Crossed another state line hours ago You can feel I’m after you I know It don’t matter where you run to ‘Cos when the devil gives up I will still be chasing you Sheriff said there wasn’t evidence enough to hold you ‘’Best treat it like an accident Forced your wife’s car off of Bow Bend Bridge And don’t get no ideas about Taking your own law into your hands’’ These are God-Fearing lands These are God-Fearing lands But it’s me you’d best be fearing now And oh, I hear the laughter and the voices of my children I still feel the tender breath and kisses of my wife Before you took their lives That’s why I’m coming for you now It don’t matter where you run to ‘Cos when the devil gives up I will still be chasing you When the devil gives up When the devil gives up When the devil gives up I will still be chasing you And there will be a grave reckoning For what you done, oh for what you done And you shall be found most wanting Your hell has just begun Your hell has just begun Rosary running through my fingers Hang it up on the rear-view mirror Match a cigarette Crack the quarter-light open This falling cold sure feels like to snow Crossed another state line hours ago You can feel I’m after you I know It don’t matter where you run to ‘Cos when the devil gives up And oh, I hear the laughter and the voices of my children I still feel the tender breath and kisses of my wife Before you took their lives That’s why I’m coming for you now It don’t matter where you run to ‘Cos when the devil gives up I will still be chasing you When the devil gives up When the devil gives When the devil gives up I will be still be chasing you When the devil gives up When the devil gives up When the devil gives up I will still be chasing you Yes, I will Better be looking over your shoulder
