Choose Your Weapon

[Verse 1] Well, I been hangin' around at the crossroads hopin' to sell my soul The devil, I'll tell you, has gone downhill since he quit that rock'n'roll But I can't see another road for me so it's down the road I go You won't be catchin' sight of me no more And there was a girl that I picked up somewhere along the road She said "come on now, and settle down, lay down your heavy load" So I left that lady cryin' in the dust out on the highway And I carried on along my merry way And there are some times when late at night I think upon my sins Sometimes I wish that I'd never went to those places that I've been I know life's too fast for lookin' back and I'm in this thing to win Raised the stakes and I'll fire it up again [Chorus] And you gotta choose your weapon The one you choose, it doesn't really matter Pick a direction and ride 'er to the end Could be whiskey or poison You won't know 'til the bottom of the glass Just knock it back and get on your feet again [Verse 2] And there was a time when I was well and fine with my pitchfork and my gun It was this guitar that gave me all these scars and where this foul mouth came from Now I will not hear of slowing down while I've still got legs to run Out of town into that setting sun [Chorus x 2] You gotta knock it back and get on your feet again Well I said knock it back and get on your feet again
