"Redbird" lyrics
He was just getting home from the old liquor store
He woke up at 3 cause the game's on at 4
He never remembered to latch his screen door
Next thing he knew he's laid out on the floor
When he awoke he was met by surprise
His Redhawk revolver stared him in the eyes
Gripped by a man two or three times his size
He swore to himself he'd make it out alive
He said I ain't no stranger to anger or fear
And I can tell by the pistol what you're doing here
The little I have I've been saving all year
So take all the money and leave me the beer
I burned the coffee but the longnecks are cold
So there ain't no reason gettin brazen and bold
Just leave me that pistol my paw left to me
His leather recliner and color TV
Cause I've got some cash on the Redbirds tonight
I swept em last week so I'm letting it ride
If you let me live and they don't kick it wide
We'll split the pot and we'll call it a night
So they settled in at the second half start
His Redhawk revolver still aimed at his heart
By the end of the 4th they had finished a case
Down by a field goal Birds called in the ace
From 50 yards out that's a hell of a kick
At the snap of the ball they all knew it's a trick
When out of the pocket a powerful throw
A hail of a mary caught in the endzone
They jumped to their feet like the crowds in the stands
Hoopin' and hollerin' and slappin' their hands
That man laid the pistol on the living room floor
And grabbed one more beer as he walked to the door
He turned and he said I'll be seeing you soon
Got the Cowboys on Sunday and kickoff's at noon
He woke up at 3 cause the game's on at 4
He never remembered to latch his screen door
Next thing he knew he's laid out on the floor
When he awoke he was met by surprise
His Redhawk revolver stared him in the eyes
Gripped by a man two or three times his size
He swore to himself he'd make it out alive
He said I ain't no stranger to anger or fear
And I can tell by the pistol what you're doing here
The little I have I've been saving all year
So take all the money and leave me the beer
I burned the coffee but the longnecks are cold
So there ain't no reason gettin brazen and bold
Just leave me that pistol my paw left to me
His leather recliner and color TV
Cause I've got some cash on the Redbirds tonight
I swept em last week so I'm letting it ride
If you let me live and they don't kick it wide
We'll split the pot and we'll call it a night
So they settled in at the second half start
His Redhawk revolver still aimed at his heart
By the end of the 4th they had finished a case
Down by a field goal Birds called in the ace
From 50 yards out that's a hell of a kick
At the snap of the ball they all knew it's a trick
When out of the pocket a powerful throw
A hail of a mary caught in the endzone
They jumped to their feet like the crowds in the stands
Hoopin' and hollerin' and slappin' their hands
That man laid the pistol on the living room floor
And grabbed one more beer as he walked to the door
He turned and he said I'll be seeing you soon
Got the Cowboys on Sunday and kickoff's at noon
