All these years I've been fossil, breaking down in the dirt
Says she loves ol' Apostle, that's one hell of a way to flirt
You must think that I'm silent, but I've got a lot to say
When she's mad I lose the battle, lord it's gonna turn me old and grey
Turn around, shoot the gun, fill that empty spot in me
River wash away the blood
I get to thinkin' you're a devil, get them horns away from me
Though I really did love ya, I think it's time to set me free
So long for fallen soldiers, I won't let them die in vain
I want away with this woman, so I can end all the pain
Turn around, shoot the gun, fill that empty spot in me
River wash away the blood
This decaying castle is gonna fall
I can feel its pain, I can hear it call
Though it's empty, it stands so tall
Just like my heart, crack forms up the wall
Well
Turn around, shoot the gun, fill that empty spot in me
River wash away the blood
Turn around, shoot the gun, fill that empty spot in me
River wash away the blood
River wash away the blood
