Murder Creek Lyrics

And I walked across the old town bridge

And I was greeted by a man who loved my iris rose

He said to me, don't run, and he raised his forty-four gun

And I knew that I had to die from the look inside his eye

He said, don't run, I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run

Don't run, can't run, I didn't run, don't run, should've run, I didn't run

And I knew of the deed I'd done

It was all in the name of love

And I stand above the creek

And I look into the foam

But I've got nowhere to run

It was worth the thing I'd done

As I take my last breath

I don't run, I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run

Don't run, can't run, I didn't run, don't run, should've run, I didn't run

MurderCreek

Murder Creek

Murder Creek

Murder Creek

And the waves, they crash into the stone

And enter the unknown

To wait for Iris Rose

For her I'd sell my soul

And she weeps into the shore

With blood and tears and foam

We almost had a home

But we didn't run, we didn't run, don't run, can't run

We didn't run, can't run, don't run, we didn't run, should've run, should've run, we didn't run

But in the end, I'll be with her I know

With a shotgun in my face

I stand with my disgrace

In a backwards act of love

I decide that I must face

To that gun

I didn't run, don't run, can't run, I didn't run, can't run, don't run, I didn't run, should've run, should've run, I didn't run

Murder Creek

Murder Creek

Murder Creek

Murder Creek
