The black powder

from Sometimes nobody's wrong by LoFi Decibels

lyrics

There’s an old pistol tucked in under the seat
In that old Pontiac driving down the street
There’s a corner liquor store in need of some robbing
And the pain in Tony’s heart is a thumping and a throbbing

There’s an old pistol tucked in under the seat
Pedal to the metal running from the heat
There’s a pool of blood getting wider on the floor
There’s a dead man on the ground in the corner liquor store

Why did he reach under the counter?
Why couldn’t he just tremble and cower
The thunder couldn’t have rung any louder
When the finger on the trigger unleashed the black powder

There’s an old pistol tucked in under the seat
As officer Watson is walking the beat
The call just came in they’re looking for Tony
Based on hearsay and witness testimony

There’s an old pistol tucked in under the seat
Soon Tony and Watson are bound to meet
Neither one of them knows how to back down
More blood will be spilled in the heart of town

Why did he reach under the counter?
Why couldn’t he just tremble and cower
The thunder couldn’t have rung any louder
When the finger on the trigger unleashed the black powder

The old pistol’s no longer under the seat
The stolen money won’t bring a life so sweet
Tony’s body’s still behind the wheel
The Devil took his soul because a deal’s a deal

Why did he reach under the counter?
Why couldn’t he just tremble and cower
The thunder couldn’t have rung any louder
When the finger on the trigger unleashed the black powder
