Lyrics

EYES OF A KILLER
© 2002 Words & Music by Chuck Lee Bramlet
Red winged blackbirds sitting on a fence
Both of ?em talking just one making sense
Can?t see ahead through the delta fog
Sacramento river?s deep and long

For every time you put me down
When I should?ve talked back, never made a sound
Every point you scored at my expense
Red winged blackbird sitting on a fence
Can?t afford an attitude
Living indentured servitude
Caught my flash in the rear-view mirror
Startled by the eyes of a killer
Easy being brave in a big old crowd
Walkin alone you don?t talk too loud
Yes sir no sir hold on fast
Waiting for the storm to pass
Hiding behind your woman?s skirts
Acting ten foot tall and bulletproof
Bide my time with my eyes to the ground
Wait till your mama?s not around
Can?t afford an attitude
Living indentured servitude
Caught my flash in the rear-view mirror
Startled by the eyes of a killer
