lyrics

She pulls the secondhand ring from her finger and sets it by the bed
Her head just hurts from thinking about all the lies he said
It’s not fair that he gets away and he needs to pay for leavin
A box from the drawer with her dad's .44,
now it's time for her to get...

She’d always been a tough one, but for him she’d been forgiving
filled her heart with dreams about the life that they’d be living
The day finally came of his getaway, house empty and the money too
Now the time had come for vengeance and she knew just what to do

Better settle up your debts and go back home
Won’t be alive when night turns into dawn
Better make peace with your maker because she's getting even
and she's moving on

She's got a shovel in the back and a gun in the rack
and she knows where he’ll be hiding
As the hours just go slippin away in the time he thinks he’s biding
She knows she wont get her money, and there’s no way to get back time
But a six foot hole and a pine box that says that
she’s the winner this time.

Better settle up your debts and get back home
Won’t be alive when night turns into dawn
Better make peace with your maker because she's getting even
and she's moving on

She walks him to the dark hole, in that sweaty Georgia night
and as he begs for his forgiveness, she knows she’s done things right
She says this must be your lucky day, but I suggest that you should run
Cuz if I ever see your face again, the last thing you’ll see’s my gun...

The 44 Territories Detroit, Michigan

The 44 Territories know they are different. In taking their interpretation of Americana music – heartfelt lyricism, twangy guitars and evocative imagery – and marrying it to a distinctly Detroit rhythm and drive, they believe they have created something special. Now, they look to prove it, on record and at shows. ... more
