Harder Cards lyrics

Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 primer

And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight

Wrong or right

She just looked to me as she finished her tale

The blank expression went another pale shade of gray

There was nothing to say

In the shadows of her face I saw the scars

That you get when you live where love is hard

And she said

"Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat."

"Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet."

"There are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to play."

Well, I put the cuffs on her and sat her in the car

Walked inside, he was layin' on the floor stone dead

Been shot in the head

There were whiskey bottles and dope by the chair

A starving baby with nothing to wear but tears

So the picture was clear

He had finally pushed her way across the line

And the badge I wore was losing all its shine

And she said

"Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat."

"Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet."

"There are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to play."

I just stood there thinkin' how justice is blind

But after thirty five years you learn to read the signs

So I made up my mind

I took the cuffs oof her and I walked her back in

Wiped the gun off and wrapped it in his right hand

Where it should've been

And the morning paper read in black and white

It's just another senseless case of suicide

Suicide

Oh, but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat

Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile along my beat

There are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well, a hammer fell down on a .44 Primer

And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight...
