Hell Or Bust lyrics

by

Billy Joe Shaver


[Verse 1]
Whoa, Can you hear
The sound of my tremblin' hands?
And whoa, Can you see
The tears of a dyin' man?
Daddy sits and momma cries; sister, she won't eat
The children are unaware: they're out playin' in the streets
A burnin' bird across the sky, a statute made of rust
Banner flown red down to hell or bust
Down to hell or bust

[Verse 2]
Jesus, Can you hear
The prayers of your dyin' lambs?
Jesus, Should we fear
The arrows from a distant land?
And an evil eye is always turned when we turn the other cheek
And we give up our inheritance and the blessings of the meek
The circle, it comes back around: the guest becomes the host
Ash to bone, flesh again to ghost
Flesh again to ghost

[Chorus]
Anywhere other than the other side
Oh, you know we were born to ride
Two-by-two side-by-side
Anywhere other than the other side
