Ain't many places to hide It's almost too long ago to remember This cowboy's had a long ride And he yells out Mr. Bartender
Hit me with a white one on the rocks And treat yourself to a double I'm looking for a man in these parts 'Cause I owe him plenty of trouble
We used to ride the banks And the trains till someone Filled my guts full of lead And when he saw those ugly stain I guess he kinda left me for dead
So hit me with a white one I'm gonna need my throat warm and wet Hit me with a white one I'm gonna need all the help I can get
I gotta get even ... (4x)
We grew up in a bad part of town We both decided to do it together We promised Ma we'd never let her down We didn't say how, didn't want to upset her
But what he did wasn't right 'Cause it was me he was leaving Bartender, if you see him tonight Just tell him that I want to get even
Bartender, just give me one more I don't need no help from your law I've waited a long time To get to this place Now I wanna meet that man face to face Just one more white one, that'll be all I need Then I'll sneak off into the night And do my deadly deed
