Old man Johnny Law, he came knockin' on my door
I shot him dead, twice in the head
He won't bother me no more
I'm going down to Texas
Where the city meets the sun
I think it's time I lay down my guns
I think it's time I lay down my guns
So I found myself a chapel
Bowed my head and learned to pray
When I saw the preacher's daughter
She turned her eyes my way
She climbed into my back seat
And I showed her all of my scars
Lord knows we can fall so far
Lord knows we can fall so far
But my skin is so thick that I don't feel at all
And when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'll call
See my hands are so calloused and bruised
My heart will stay black and blue
I took a job in Mississippi working on the train
That's where I learned to gamble and to drink away my pain
When my fears grab hold of me they call me by my name
Lord knows I can't change
Lord knows I can't change
But my skin is so thick that I don't feel at all
And when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'll call
See my hands are so calloused and bruised
My heart will stay black and blue
(guitar solo) Play chorus chords
So I'll take what I've been given
I can't change the things I've done
Lord knows my time has come
Lord knows my time has come
(guitar solo 2)Play chorus chords
Yeah my skin is so thick that I don't feel at all
And when the fire starts burning I'm the last one you'll call
See my hands are so calloused and bruised
My heart will stay black and blue
