Ol' Red Comb Lyrics

Well they call me Ol' Red Comb and I'm crowin' at the top of my lungs

For tonight I think I'm gonna have myself a little fun

I'll make my way to the bar for shots and I'm gonna play the penny slots

Cuz they call me Ol' Red Comb and this life's the only one I got

I saw her standin' there in the smoke and the neon signs

And I thought "well hot damn! What a beautiful sight!"

And I didn't even notice Slim lurking there in his boots of snakeskin

I guess I was an easy mark for their wicked little game of sin

Woah Red Comb

She sure had mischief in her eyes, her lips were filled with sweet sweet lies

I think she slipped something into my drink while she slid her hand on my thigh

Something sharp poked me in the back and I nearly had a heart attack

When I turned around and saw the man whose eyes were coal pitch black

Woah Red Comb

They picked my pockets clean and were hoping for a bigger score

So they drove me to the city limits, then they drove a little more

They dropped me on the side of the road right next to Miller's mine

I watched him pull out a switchblade knife with blood lust in his eyes

She laughed and laughed as he went to work and promised me this was gonna hurt

He'd start out slow so I'd feel the sting like they do on the silver screen

One cut turned into two or three, God why did this have to happen to me

I swear you never hear my prayers, but will you hear my screams

You will hear my screams

Woah here lies Ol' Red Comb

Well they called me Ol' Red Comb and I crowed at the top of my lungs

I'm bleedin' out on the dusty ground, I'll never see the sun

I'll never play the penny slots, never drink another whisky shot

They called me Ol' Red Comb and this was the only life I got
