You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it comin'
He could have won his right
But they always come movin'
Playin' fiddle hard
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it comin'
He could have won his right
But they always come movin'
Playin' fiddle hard
Original Lyrics:
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie, playing the part
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie, playing the part
The devil's been busy in your back yard
