"Gunsmoke Blues" lyrics

"Gunsmoke Blues"
(feat. Jason Isbell)

Trouble down at the high school
Somebody got the gunsmoke blues
Trouble down at the high school
Somebody got the gunsmoke blues
Read it in the morning paper
Watch it on the evening news

Over at the house of worship
People praying to the Lord
Over at the house of worship
People praying to the Lord
The gunsmoke blues come calling
God's people ain't here no more

Mama said what's the matter
Son, you ain't acting right
Mama said what's the matter
Son, you ain't acting right
I got a worried feeling
It's the gunsmoke blues alright

Some folks blame the shooter
Other folks blame the gun
But that don't stop the bullets
And more bloodshed to come
A million thoughts and prayers
Won't bring back anyone

No million thoughts and prayers
Won't bring back anyone

A million thoughts and prayers
They won't bring back anyone
No
Won't bring back anyone
