Harder Cards

Harder Cards - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·羅傑斯)

Well a hammer fell down on a 44 Primer

Now thers one less problem in South Carolina tonight

Wrong or right

She just looked at me as she finished her tale

And her blank expression went another shade pale 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 I put her in the car

I Walked inside And he was on the floor stone dead

Shot in the head

There were whiskey bottles and d**e by his chair

And A starving baby with nothing to wear but tears

You know the picture was clear

He had finally pushed her farther then the line

And the badge I wore had lost all of 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

Well I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind

But I diden't see any an I could see just fine

Then I made up my mind

So I took the cuffs of her and I took her back in

I Wiped off gun and I wrapped it in his right hand

Where it should've been

And the morning paper told in black and white

It's just another senseless case of suicide

Oh Just a 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

Ya a hammer fell down on a 44 Primer

Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
