'52 Ford Lyrics - Red Of Tooth And Claw - Murder By Death

I hit the road in a '52 Ford 

A pack of matches 

And a postcard on the dashboard 

The sun was set 

The gas gauge was low 

And it was time to go 

I met the girl at a juke joint on the fly 

Needed a friend the day my mother died 

Her place was hot and it smelled of sin 

I guess when one life goes another begins 

Hey now, what you gonna do? 

Got a fiver in your pocket 

And a switchblade in your boot 

Hey now what you gonna say 

To make it go away?

I found the city by the mark on the stamp 

Studied it under the light of a hotel lamp 

I found his work, I found their home 

I waited until I knew she was alone 

I didn't want the child to see life 

I justified that it wounded my pride 

My mind was set that no one could know 

The girl had to go 

Hey now, what you gonna do? 

Got a fiver in your pocket 

And a switchblade in your boot 

Hey now what you gonna say 

To make it go away? 

Hey now, what you gonna do? 

Got a fiver in your pocket 

And a switchblade in your boot 

Hey now what you gonna say 

To make it go away?

Light stumbled in 

Through a crack in the shades 

Reflected off of the edge of my blade 

As I reached for the girl 

With the knife in my hand 

I thought "I guess the kid deserves a chance" 

Her man came in as I started to go 

My last intentions; how could he know? 

The blade sunk deep into my skin 

I guess when one life goes another begins
