Lyrics
Retribution Blues
You must have known you had it coming; you're a dirty low down cheat
So listen here, its payback time and you gotta know revenge is sweet
They say what goes around comes around; you need to know how lonesome feels
Some call it retribution, for cheating on the deal
Now watch me walk....walk away
Baby watch me walk....Walk away
Ain't gonna be no sweet redemption on your judgement day
You're gonna sing those retribution blues, and watch me walk away
Now the thing about retribution, it ain't just about doing time
The definition in my book is that the punishment fits the crime
There is no compensation for what you gone and done
There's no justice been invented yet that's better than a gun
Now watch me walk....walk away
Baby watch me walk....Walk away
Ain't gonna be no sweet redemption on your judgement day
You're gonna sing those retribution blues, and watch me walk away
Aint nobody gonna save your soul, you're on a dark and dusty road
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, you gotta reap just what you sowed
Now watch me walk....walk away
Baby watch me walk....Walk away
Ain't gonna be no sweet redemption on your judgement day
You're gonna sing those retribution blues, and watch me walk away
Repeat to fade
