lyrics

Darkness filled his heart as Abel rode along
In search of Dirty Jake, the man who killed his ma and pa
He found Jake on a farmstead just outside of Dodge
And without thinking twice Abel drew his gun and shot

Through the air that bullet it flew true
Abel said “Someone killed my ma and pa! Do you know who?”

“It was you, it was you, it was you!”
“It was you, it was you, it was you!”
“It was you, it was you, it was you!”

As Jake lay dying in the grass out on the plains
He said “I knew this day would come. Yes I knew that this was my fate.”
“For I used to be a wicked man but I changed my ways and Abel if you wish to, you can do the same.”

“It’s not too late for you to pull on through
Smother your hate or you will be consumed”

“And this could be you, this could be you, this could be you
Lying in a pool of your own blood, explaining to someone son
Why you had to do what you had to do
This could be you
Don’t let it be you, don’t let it be you, don’t let it be you
Don’t let it be you, don’t let it be,
Don’t let it be you, don’t let it be
Don’t let it be you
