The Hard Way

Crooked tales about my ways
Running from mouth to mouth
You know this town is full of deceit
That's why they're coming after me
Their piercing eyes tell dirty lies
They're heavy with a curse
When they speak they spit out their soul
As black as their rotten tooth

You want it the hard way
You want it the long way down
You want it the hard way
I'm not leaving this town

A shovel and spade, I can hear it now
Digging an early grave
I'm a wanted girl without a plan
Brought a cell there with a coffin
Ain't no white flag to reason
With a notorious clan
It was self-defence and that's what I meant
Killed my husband with my bare hands

You want it the hard way
You want it the long way down
You want it the hard way
I'm not leaving this town

I'm out of jail without a gun
They wanna put a bullet in my chest
I'm always gonna be on the run
They're never gonna let me rest

Oh, you want it the hard way
You want it the long way down
You want it the hard way
You want it the long way down
You want it the hard way
You want it the long way down
You want it the hard way
I'm not leaving this town
