Brave Man's Death
J. Roddy Walston And The Business

Well my father put a shame on me.
Said he wouldn’t put his name on me.
Said he wouldn’t be the first in his family
Who’s son cried when he was born.
Well he died the day i got a gun.
Said that he was proud that I’s his son that that was right there
In his plan I’d grow up and be a man.
And there was a tear. I saw it in his eye.
He said he couldn’t think of a better way to die

And the Lord came down and put a spoon in my mouth.
It tasted so bitter, but I couldn’t spit it out.
It tasted like the money that my poor mama made.
When I went and stole it, cause she took it to the grave.
And there was a note clenched in her right hand,
Said boy if you wanna live, better die like a brave man.

I don’t wanna die in the middle of the night,
I want a brave man’s death. I don’t wanna die in the middle of the night,
I want a brave man’s death.
Spittin' gasoline, burnin' my teeth, getting salt on the fields of my past.
And the sword will come down with a milky white flash
And I’ll get my brave man’s death at last.

I had a woman. And she had some kids.
She said she loved them, I never did.
Just the way that they feed And take away what was young.
But my wife’s a muscle that can do what needed to be done.
And the day that she died, her cup was fully drained.
She said take hope my love, that life was worth the pain

I don’t wanna die in the middle of the night, I want a brave man’s death.
I don’t wanna die in the middle of the night, I want a brave man’s death.
Spittin' gasoline, burnin' my teeth, getting salt on the fields of my past.
And the sword will come down with a milky white flash And I’ll get my brave man’s death at last.

I had a heart that’s willin' but a back without a bone.
My body’d go to war, but my head would come home
And I always had a knife in case a real man came along.
He turned his head and his life was gone.
So I hold it in my heart, yeah I hold it in my heart.
No, I hide it in my heart, cause it’s tearin' me apart.
The last thing that he said to me was blood was on my hands

Oh god, I wanna die like a man.
