Compared to a Soul - The Steel Woods

Bobby said, «let's play some cards

I gotta truck out in the yard

That I came across it was a steal

Lay a couple paychecks down

Drink a few and play a couple rounds

Throw the dice and laugh over somebody’s meal»

Would anyone ever believe

Slight of hand and a long sleeve

Could turn old friends into new enemies

And in the fog of all the blame

The Devil straightened a bad shots aim

Now Bobby and his 6 shooter went all in for the deal

I gotta give to ya, Satan

You weren’t lying when you said

«I'm the best liar

And the fastest one of them all»

Well now this f‌ire burns

Higher and higher

Hot coals burn cold

Compared to a soul

Jezebel lived carefree

Fast cars and jewelry

Married right outta school to a young Marine

Then a new man moved to town

Spoke loud and threw his money around

Caught the eye of a soldiers wife in need

A hard f‌ight and a prayer for peace

Turned a long time gone to an early release

And he came home to different kind of war

Greater love hath no man

Like a broken heart with a gun in his hand

And Jezebel don’t life carefree no more

I gotta give to ya, Satan

You weren’t lying when you said

«I'm the best liar

And the fastest one of them all»

Well now this f‌ire burns

Higher and higher

Hot coals burn cold

Compared to a soul

I gotta give to ya, Satan

You weren’t lying when you said

«I'm the best liar

And the fastest one of them all»

Well now this f‌ire burns

Higher and higher

Hot coals burn cold

Hot coals burn cold

Compared to a soul
