Tragic Life Lyrics - Infamous Stringdusters

I'm a long way from home 

I don't know where I'll go 

I a'int slept in days 

And the water's running low 

Got a posse at my back 

And bullet in my side 

Lord I gotta keep on movin' 

Find a good place to hide 

Well they tried to take me in 

For shootin' down a man 

He got what he deserved 

They'll have to catch me if they can 

I feel my blood runnin' colder every day 

I know that soon this old body be layin' beneath the clay 

I came home from the range 

And the moon was shining bright 

Saw two shadows moving 

Like demons in the night 

I felt my body tremble 

As I saw them lyin' there 

A stranger with my wife 

I drew the pistol that I wear 

Oh, and I feel my blood runnin' colder every day 

And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay 

I shot him in the back 

As he was makin' for the door 

I stood over a man 

That I knew I'd seen before 

His hand was on his chest 

And I knew I'd gone too far 

When I opened up his vest 

And I saw that silver star 

(break) 

Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day 

And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay 

Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day 

And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay
