"Knife To A Gunfight" lyrics

"Knife To A Gunfight"

'Round here, your name holds weight
It don't take much of nothing to run yours in the ground
There's a big ol' difference between the meaning
Of calling 'em up and calling 'em out

No, you don't dare the dog to break the chain
Unless you done lost your mind
No, you don't wanna end up six feet down
Around where the well run dry
If you think you got the grit to go and get some
Well son, you gotta toe that line
Heed my advice and don't bring a knife to a gunfight

'Round here we don't take lip
We tend to flip on a switch if you get to running your mouth
Better back it up 'cause if you don't
Then it won't mean a thing when things get to heading south
Yeah, it's heading south

No, you don't dare the dog to break the chain
Unless you done lost your mind
No, you don't wanna end up six feet down
Around where the well run dry
If you think you got the grit to go and get some
Well son, you gotta toe that line
And heed my advice and don't bring a knife to a gunfight, yeah

'Round here respect is earned
So don't burn down a bridge that ain't worth burning down

No, you don't dare the dog to break the chain
Unless you done lost your mind
No, you don't wanna end up six feet down
Around where the well run dry
If you think you got the grit to go and get some
Well son, you gotta toe that line
Heed my advice and don't bring a knife to a gunfight
