jason eady - promises in pieces lyrics

Loading...

i saw jesus in the corner he was talking to my friend
they both looked my way and turned around
i guess i should remember all the trouble that i’ve been
it’s just promises in pieces on the ground

i was drunk and tired and busted the day he took me in
and offered me protection from myself
i guess i should have told him i’m no kind of friend
well i guess that he found out the day i left

i took the money from the wallet on the table by the door
i took the pistol that he told me he kept locked inside the drawer
i took off before the sun came up
i didn’t see him anymore

i was killing time in reno where the snow fell on the ground
i was counting out what little i had left
i asked the bartender to pour another round
i threw a ten down on the table and i saved one for myself

i walked across the street in daylight with that pistol in my jeans
i walked up and told the tellar i don’t want to cause a scene
just put the money in this suitcase
and we can do this nice and clean

i was almost to the front door when i heard that siren scream
they were just around the corner and coming fast
i turned back to that tellar and he was looking right at me
i just watched him fall as i let that pistol blast

i ran back through the alley and i never turned around
i heard all the voices as they tried to track me down
i threw the pistol in that river
i jumped a train leaving town

in a hotel out by carson lake i was trying to lay low
when i heard some locals talking down the hall
it seems they’d caught the man who robbed that wells fargo
up in reno you don’t mess around with the law

i guess my friend came looking just like he’d done before
but they’d already found his pistol that had washed up on the sh-r-
yesterday they hanged a man
i couldn’t run anymore

i saw jesus in the corner he was talking to my friend
they both looked my way and turned around
i guess i should remember all the trouble that i’ve been
it’s just promises in pieces on the ground

it’s just promises in pieces on the ground
