lyrics

when i hear the rain coming down
on this tin metal roof
it brings me joy, it brings me peace
cause i'll be leaving this cold cell in the morning,
headed out of town

and the sun will set red on my shallow grave
because i'm seeing through rose colored glasses again

well i've robbed my share of trains,
and i've killed more than men who'd see me harmed
i've defiled filthy virgins
but i don't claim to be a bad man
always troubled is what i'd say
maybe a little obssessed
with sunglassses and murder ballads

and the sun will set red on my shallow grave
because i'm seeing through rose colored glasses again

but i'm heading to another place,
where everything is green and the sun sets red
like you're seeing through rose colored glasses
they call this punishment for my crimes
but really, the judge is only doing me a favor

and the sun will set red on my shallow grave
because i'm seeing through rose colored glasses again

collar beneath my ear
it's only 5 minutes away
13 knots around my neck
this is the first and last time
on the end of the hang mans noose
