[Verse 1]
Bm
We put down vows on a Bible
Bm
But love was dead on arrival
Bm Em D
Should’ve took all that money for the ring and bought a bottle
Bm Bm
Dealing with the devil is a downward spiral
Bm Em D
Should’ve slipped off in that water at that Sunday teen revival
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm
But instead I’m comin’, gunnin’
Runnin’ cold-blooded, better watch your back
[Chorus]
E7
Can’t turn the other cheek
E7
Ain’t gonna practice what I preach
D Bm
Ford was gone ‘fore he put it in drive
Bm
No, you don’t touch another man’s wife
A G
When you Do that dance, there’s no chance in survival
F#m Bm Em Bm Bm
Dead on arrival
[Interlude]
Bm Bm
[Verse 2]
Bm
Call me the undertaker
Bm
Son, you done met your maker
Bm
I don’t need no savior
Em D
‘Cause I know right where I’m bound
Bm
Blue lights blasting through the window
Bm
..Sirens on a crescendo
Bm Em D
..Stare in their lifeless eyes and burn a camel down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm
Law man’s comin’, gunnin’
Runnin’ cold-blooded and I can’t turn back
[Chorus]
E7
Can’t turn the other cheek
E7
Ain’t gonna practice what I preach

Give me that sentence, skip on a trial

Give me thirty years, give me….
Put me in a chair, baby, I don’t care
[Chorus]
E7
Can’t turn the other cheek

We put them vows on a Bible
But love was dead on arrival
Should've took all that money for the ring and bought a bottle
Dealing with the devil is a downward spiral
Should've slipped off in that water at that Sunday tent revival
But instead I'm comin', gunnin', I'm runnin' cold blooded, better watch your back
Can't turn the other cheek, ain't gonna practice what I preach
Boy was gone 'fore he put it in drive, no you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival
Call me the undertaker son you done met your maker
I don't need no savior 'cause I know right where I'm bound
Blue lights blasting through the window, sirens on a crescendo
Stare in their lifeless eyes and burn a Camel down
Law man's comin', gunnin', I'm running cold blooded and I can't turn back
Can't turn the other cheek, ain't gonna practice what I preach
Boy was gone 'fore he put it in drive, no you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival
Gimme that sentence, skip on the trial
Yeah I'm guilty by a green mile
Gimme 30 years, gimme yellow momma
Put me in the chair, baby I don't care
'Sho can't turn the other cheek, ain't gonna practice what I preach
Boy was gone 'fore he put it in drive, no you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Yeah, when you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival
