Harder Cards (Rogers Kenny)

Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer now thers 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 pale of gray There was nothing to say In the shadows of her face I saw the scars That you get when you live where love is hard And she said Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet There are people that you pass by every day With harder cards than yours in life to play Well, I put the cuffs on her and I put her in the car I Walked inside, And he was on the floor stone dead shot in the head There were 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 then 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 seat Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet There are people that you pass by every day With harder cards than yours in life to play well I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind But I diden't see any an I could see just fine then I made up my mind so I took the cuffs of her and I took her back in I Wiped off gun and I wrapped it in his right hand Where it should've been And the morning paper told in black and white It's just another senseless case of suicide Oh Just a Suicide Oh, but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile along my beat There are people that you pass by every day With harder cards than yours in life to play ya, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
