Harder Cards

Well, the hammer fell down on a forty-four primer

Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight

Wrong or right

She just looked at me as she finished her tale

And her blank expression went another shade pale of gray

There was nothin' to sayIn the shadows of her face, I saw the scars

That you get when you live where love is hard

And she said"Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat

Don't you shrug off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to play"Well I put the cuffs on her and I put her in the car

I walked in and he was on the floor

Stone dead, shot in the head

There was whiskey bottles and dope by his chair

And a starving baby with nothin' to wear

But tears, you know the picture was clearHe had finally pushed her farther than the line

And the badge I wore had lost all of it's shine

And she said"Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat

Don't you shrug off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to play"Well, I stood there thinkin' how justice was blind

But I didn't see any and I could see just fine

And I made up my mind

So I took the cuffs off her and I took her back in

I wiped off the gun and wrapped it in his right hand

Where it should've beenAnd the morning paper told in black and white

Just another senseless case of suicide

Oh, just a suicideOh, but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat

Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile on my beat

'Cause there are people that you pass by every day

With harder cards than yours in life to playYeah, hammer fell down on a forty-four primer

Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight
