lyrics

He's got a pistol on the floorboards in a holster where he keeps it,
with fears of his youth in the dirt underneath it
Ain't touched it in years, not sure if he skinned it it'd fire

Used to see himself needing to make 'em back down,
in the streets outside bars in some honky tonk town
but ain't touched it in years, that stuff just don't bother him now

He just worries will his daughter get along with his wife,
he wonders will his hands ache the rest of his life?
and bad hombres in bars begging bullets don't register now

In a black leather jacket old smokes turn to dust
where the last night he came home and hung the thing up
where it is now he can't quite recall, it's been years ago now

If you ask him, he'll tell you these things are still serious
but a man hits a point needs to redefine fearlessness,
and he might miss those days, but can't see where there's time for them now

how do you keep your mouth shut and defend your good name?
but we all hit a point where they're one in the same
where bad hombres and tough talkin' gentlemen ain't got the time

Thoughts we never had are the ones that now bleed us,
the ones most important, now seemingly meaningless
a thrown stone that sinks out of sight while we stand on dry land
