My Old Man Had A Pistol Lyrics - The New Amsterdams

My old man had a pistol 

Never carried around 

Never taught me to use it, yeah 

No blood on the ground 

Images of a family 

Somewhere deep in the South 

Wish that girl taking pictures, yeah 

Dragged me out 

Stand inside 

Knees fall to the ground 

I pray take me far away 

From everything that I am 

Must've lost all my memories 

Must've blacked 'em all out 

Thank god for the pictures, yeah 

Didn't burn in the house 

Stand inside 

Knees fall to the ground 

I pray take me far away 

From everything that I am 

I pray take me far away 

Everything that I am 

Escape is the only way out 

Escape is the only way out 

Escape is the only way out 

Only way out
