I used to be an only son

My heart was but a stranger

It wallowed in the races won

Born to crave the petty dangers

And it sat alone and pined and pondered

All the chosen roads it had to wander

Only Son - Shakey Graves

Well I used to be an only son

Yeah my heart was but a gambler

Oh heavy as a loaded gun

It howled above the weather

And its evil ways let me forget her

And this dirty blood will burn forever

In us together

I used to be an only son

Yeah my heart was but a gambler

Oh heavy as a loaded gun

It howled above the weather

And its evil ways let me forget her

And this dirty blood will burn forever

In us together
