Kishore Kumar Hits — David Jameson - Eye for an Eye lyrics

Artist: David Jameson

album: Tall Dark Pines

Named your boys for the Gospels
Cuz you're a God fearing man
And you always kept a Bible
Like a pistol near your hand
Just like Johnny you were a rambler
But not the leaving kind
You went pasture to pasture
With your sheep in mind
On the night that you left us
A new baby cried
Just a couple steps behind you
An eye for an eye
We sang gun fighter ballads
As I bounced on your thigh
I was way too young then
To understand time
But you'd get up every Sunday
To don your black and white
Shooting straight from the pulpit
You'd point us toward the light
At the last Thanksgiving
Family praying side by side
You spoke of God's plan
Said she'd come in nine months time
On the night that you left us
That new baby cried
Just a couple steps behind you
An eye for an eye
We wore black on that first Sunday
Like you'd always done before
We read from your last sermon
Said goodbye forever more
The army sent some young boys
Fired guns before we laid you down
Played taps with that baby crying
As the sun set to the sound
On that night that you left us
That new baby cried
Just a couple steps behind you
An eye for an eye
An eye for an eye
