a pool hall a drink and a friend,
pistol and cards and a win,
your mom was asleep on the floor,
she never asked what the bullets were for,
I used to jump on a train
from poteau to tulsa, across Indian plains
they'd check every boxcar but mine
i paid off the light horseman with whiskey and wine
i don't back out
of a fight and I never have,
no, I don’t back out,
i got a name and it's yours.
i got a name and it’s yours.
i was on a boat in the war
we had a cargo of gasoline, death, and remorse.
a japanese plane took a dive
it was all fire and water and staying alive
yeah, but I met a girl back at home,
In a house full of people, she was living alone
falling in love wasn't hard
oh, but staying together was playing with cards
‘cause we don’t back out
from a fight and we never have
we don’t back out
we got a name and its yours
boy, you're gonna grow up like me
have a crazy life, full of crazy dreams
you're be living the same tall tales
that I used to tell,
cause the truth won't sell
just, don't let nobody
don’t let nobody
don’t let nobody
take it now
i remember the day you were born
all red like the bloodline of men gone before
you passed through the water in faith
you did just like I did, so brave and afraid
we won't back out
of a fight and we never have
no,we don't back out,
we got a name and it's yours
