Lyrics

Broken bottles and back street alleys
Walking through this El Paso byway
Hairs bristle the tension stifling
Resurrection Tombstone trainwreck


Through these alleys what's behind me?
Young punk, fearless instinct trigger
4 on 1 could be better
But life's misfortune trained this sinner


What's your name boy? Where's your color?
You think you've got the stones to bother
Turn around and take your cover
Midnight deadline makes me brother


Static crackle razor white lie
Fingers tremble tunnel crosslight
Momentary hesitation
only leads to desolation


Writing down I can't forget this
Lifeless situation breathless
Ride the highway of this lifeline
Chance encounter change the byline


Friendly smiles hide the crackwise
Bad intentions in those black eyes
Keep your wits and watch your back
A 12 guage handshake where's your slack


Street lights flicker fading black
Watch the sunrise from my back
Whispered goodbye with just one regret
That final handshake click, boom, crack


(instrumental break)


Writing down I can't forget this
Lifeless situation breathless
Ride the highway of this lifeline
Chance encounter change the byline


Friendly smiles hide the crackwise
Bad intentions in those black eyes
Keep your wits and watch your back
A 12 guage handshake where's your slack
