Tom Russell - Hair Trigger Heart lyrics

rate me

Cowboy’s will, cowboy wish it always be

Don’t let ‘em in like these boys, tell ‘em I said somethin’

They say troubles ride on fast horse

They say forgive rise in you

Ooh yeah they say a lot of things

That’s why I live by my own rules

You know, man is seen in fragments, a scar, a limp tattoo and a broken teeth

Scratch the surface on most man out here

And you’ll find 2 man’s hiding under knees

But I come right here to lecture, good and amble, black or white, right or wrong

I’ve come to sing my story from the black old day from all those jipsy song

Luce Kevin just call me, I have caught an cow boy on a part yeah

With my war back from the chip tricks, dead certain mister of my head trigger heart

Ooh baby I gotta head trigger heart x 2

Have no love from every engle

I never learn of the graceful “get away “

Yeah the poetry eludes me, sir I don’t give a damn what all the minor poets see

I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a drunk, there’s a difference

Some of my kid gets so smart

I come from hors toreador and half breath

And a savage long line, hair trigger heart

Ooh baby I gotta head trigger heart

I gotta head trigger heart x 2

Caught the old gun fire isn’t even count

Pistol pack and marveling that pistol down

I’m still around, boy I got one more round

And I sure hit the mark

With my hair trigger heart

That goes far in the eternity, you will find me

And the public call it so in the high way man

I got a wax museum mustache, might be missing several fingers on my trigger hand

I’ll have forgotten half the alphabet, my name, my age, my chiny laundries mark

Between mister and oblivion, mister I will always hang on to this hair trigger heart

Ooh baby I gotta head trigger heart

I gotta head trigger heart x 2

Cowboys we are, cowboys we should always be
