I Drank Blood From a Cactus

from I Oughta​.​.​. (Deluxe Reissue) by Ugly Pompous Grin

lyrics

This town will cry tonight
We live or die tonight
Oh God, I live by the gun
The women scream for me
The men, they bleed for me
I lose myself every time
I lose more every time
We've trained for nights and days
And yet we feel this way
Ready the horses and the guns
The booze may steal my heart
But it won't ease my part
Shoot them quick and don't let them run
Why must we live for this hunt?
But if you believe me
This life will never end
And if you believe me
I swear I'll never ride again
This book is coming to a close, I know
Every hour that I take
I just want to go home
Some way back home
The moon is shining down
And I can hear the sounds
Of the children as they sleep
Oh God, please kill me now
And I won't lay them down
Their little hands, they're at your feet
Oh God, deliver me from this
But if you believe me
This life will never end
And if you believe me
I swear I'll never ride again
This book is coming to a close, I know
Every hour that I take
I just want to go home
Some way back home
