Harder Cards Lyrics - Collin Raye

(Craig Wiseman/Michael Henderson) 

Well the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer 

Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight 

Wrong or right 

She just looked at me as she finished her tale 

And her blank expression went another shade pale of grey 

There was nothin' to say 

In the shadows of her face, I saw the scars 

That you get when you live where love is hard 

And she said 

Don't you sit and judge me 

From some high and mighty seat 

Don't you shrug off 

Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet 

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day 

With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well I put the cuffs on her 

And I put her in the car 

And I walked in and he was on the floor 

Stone dead 

Shot in the head 

There were whiskey bottles and dope by his chair 

And a starving baby with nothin' to wear 

But tears 

You know, the picture was clear 

He had finally pushed her farther than the line 

And the badge i wore had lost all of it's shine 

Don't you sit and judge me 

From some high and mighty seat 

Don't you shrug off 

Until you've walked a mile in my bare feet 

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day 

With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind 

But I didn't see any and I could see just fine 

And I made up my mind 

So I took the cuffs off her 

And I took her back in 

I wiped off the gun 

And wrapped it in his right hand 

Where it should've been 

And the morning paper told in black and white 

Just another senseless case of suicide 

Oh, just a suicide 

Oh but don't you sit and judge me 

From some high and mighty seat 

Don't you shrug off 

Until you've walked a mile on my beat 

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day 

With harder cards than yours in life to play 

Yeah the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer 

Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
