Lust
A country song about a coward con-man who decides to plan the biggest heist of his life time. However things go aery and his plans are derailed.
Lyrics:
Down under the river bed, lies in gold and weeps in red
It’s the same old story, lust got the better of himStarted out small a low-level snake
but he realized to late, his life was a stake
He always idolized the gangsters
but had no clue what it was like to be oneIt could of ended right there, front page news
A shoot out between two different crews
But he decided to dip
and get a new gigDown under the river bed, lies in gold and weeps in red
It’s the same old story, Lust got the better of himAll the skills he learned he put to use
Now a con man your trust was his to abuse
Figured that he had a chance
after seeing that beautiful woman at a glanceA love transaction, he wanted to take action
Greed turned to lust
When the couple left, He planned his theft
wanted those gold locks for himselfDown under the river bed, lies in gold and weeps in red
It’s the same old story, Lust got the better of himHe thought he’d tail them from behind
kill the husband, take her as his trophy
Get the money, get the girl, no one would ever know
later on in the night he figured it was timeHe crawled and slithered up to the house
And almost got in but then:
the lights turned on and his face turned red
Oh sh- was the last thing he saidDown under the river bed, lies in gold and weeps in red
It’s the same old story, lust got the better of himDown under the river bed, lies in gold and weeps in red
It’s the same old story, Lust got the better of him
