Lyrics Harder cards Real Mccoy

Harder cards

Well the hammer fell down on a .44 primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade paler grey
There was nothing to say In the shadows of her face I saw the scars
That you get where you live where love is hard
And she said Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off untilYou've walked a mile in my bare feet
Cause there are people that you pass by everyday
With harder cards than yours in life to play Well I put the cuffs on her and I put her in the car
Walked inside and he was on the floor stone dead
Shot in the head
There was whiskey bottles and dope by his chair
And a starving baby with nothing to wear but tears
You know the picture was clear He had finally pushed her farther than the line
And the badge I wore had lost all of its shine
And she said Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off untilYou've walked a mile in my bare feet
Cause there are people that you pass by everyday
With harder cards than yours in life to play Well I stood there thinking how justice was blind
But I didn't see any and I could see just fine
And I made up my mind
So I took the cuffs off her and I took her back in
Wiped off the gun and I wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should have been And in the morning paper told in black and white
Just another senseless case of suicide
Oh, just a suicide
Oh but Don't you sit and judge me
From some high and mighty seatDon't you shrug it off untilYou've walked a mile along my beat
Cause there are people that you pass by everyday
With harder cards than yours in life to play Yeah a hammer fell down a .44 primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
