lyrics
When You’re born, under the gun
The first thing you learn is escape
All that you taught us was one thing,
How to point blame while you take
You’ve always been quick on the draw,
But nothing is as fast as your tongue
When you’re raised at the end of a barrel
You learn how to lie when you’re young (lie when you’re young)
You could’ve never been what we deserved,
But with some presence, you could’ve been what we need
You left me down, the downest of spirals
Chip on my shoulder, Heart on my sleeve
I’ve always been quick on the draw,
But nothing is as fast as my tongue
When you’re raised at the end of a barrel
You learn how to lie when you’re young
Broken hearts on borrowed time
Chased your buzz with Stolen Wine
You never had the courtesy to try
You made you made your bed and placed your bet
You broke your promise and left regret
You’ve always had a willingness to lie
Just a boy that raised a man
Every time he raised his hand
And you don’t have the decency to die
When you’re raised at the end of a barrel,
You learn how to lie when you’re young
Accomplished musicians performing expertly conceived compositions. What more could I ask for? This is a “discovery” album in that it inspires me to explore the rest of Clifton’s catalogue. Paul Goode
