lyrics

---Chorus---
Tracked ‘im down for 18 years
The coward’s in my sights
Ol’ John Red is my name
Here ta take the coward’s wife

Thing ‘bout killin’ a man
Somethin’ you can’t reverse
For a few, I’d do it quicker
But fer most, I’d give ‘em worse

I’m a man of simple means
But my aim is sharp an’ true
So when I say I’m out for blood
Better hope it ain’t for you

-Chorus-

Cowards leave a trail
Of fear ‘n’ shame ‘n’ shit
Stench’ll follow ‘em to the grave
An’ on to hell’s fiery pit

I took my time to find him
Had my share o’ fun
Stealin’, killin’, rapin’ whores
All leadin’ to this one

-Chorus-

No rush to take him out
Waited good and long
Long enough to feel
Gawdamn good when doin’ wrong

Coward knows I be comin’
He can run to save his life
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
But I’ll still take his wife

Tracked ‘im down for 18 years
The coward’s in my sights
Ol’ John Red is my name
Here ta kill the coward’s wife
