The damn man kicking down my door
Don't he know i won't see him no more?

That dusty brim hanging over his eyes
Lord, i ain't never seen a man of his size

The heavy hand and the cast iron faith
He never gives but he always takes

I see the red red dust on his soul
His tired boots are as black as coal

You might see him in a subway car
Or in the darkest corner down in the bar

The steely gaze and the serpent smile
He'll work you over pretty good for a while

So i'll tell you just what i did
I packed my bags and away i went

Crossed frozen mountains and a deep blue sea
I built a wall between him and me

Tell you something if you're hooked by the man
Just get out while you still can.
