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
Another nice tune for the ears. Nice soothing sound to this and love the vocals and guitars. Very nicely done and sung. Peace and Blessings, John
