Lyrics

On the day that I first met you
I knew very deep inside you
Was a twisted, tortured, troubled kind of soul

But she said that she loved you
And who was I to judge you
When I had so many troubles of my own

Sure your mama's gonna miss you
Wish my daughter never kissed you
But she did and then you went and did her wrong

You made a peaceful man a killer
When you raised your hand up to her
And now this won’t be over til you’re gone
Dead and gone

On the fateful day I saw her
I knew that deep inside her
Was a wound inflicted by your hateful ways

I was to protect her
Keep the darkness from her
But you slipped through and darkened all her days

Sure your mama’s gonna miss you
Wish my daughter never kissed you
But she did and then you went and did her wrong

You made a peaceful man a killer
When you raised your hand up to her
And now this won’t be over til you’re gone
Dead and gone

You won’t see it coming
You won’t hear a sound
Sure as I am breathing
You’ll be six feet underground
They’ll all come a-lookin
Searching all around
Sure as I am singing
Your sad carcass won’t be found

Sure your Mama’s gonna miss you
Wish my daughter never kissed you
But she did and then you went and did her wrong

You made a peaceful man a killer
When you raised your hand up to her
And now this won’t be over
til you’re gone

Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
