Lyrics

The King of Hell Bound Hearts C.2005 T. Cerrigione

Ten-0-3 in Texas, at the Palace Moonshine Bar
by the corner of the table, was a king of Hell bound hearts
I could tell alot about him, by the clothes he had on
and that old sun weathered Stetson, he wore it like a crown

Hard luck formed hard lines, like etchings on his skin
He looked like he was lost, I sat down next to him

chorus

There's only so much pride in any man
There's only so much pain he can withstand
Deep down inside, we were'nt that far apart
and I raised my glass, to the king of Hell bound hearts

verse

He started talking, telling me his life
and all about some joker, who ran off with his wife
As he told his story, I thought about it hard
I somehow seemed connected
to the king of hell bound heart

bridge

I finished off my drink, I got up from my chair
and I took one last look at the stranger in the mirror

chorus

There's only so much pride in any man
There's only so much pain he can withstand
Deep down inside, we were'nt that far apart
and I tipped my hat, to the king of hell bound hearts
