The Charlie Daniels Band - Even up the Score lyrics

Like a serpent in the sand Coiled up to strike you when your back is turned He's an evil man Wicked since the day that he was born When the morning comes I'll meet him in the street and try to gun him down He took your life away What a dark bitter day I held her in my arms and I swore I'd even up the score The sun is in my eyes Sweat is on my face and I can hardly stand Fear is in my heart Telling me to turn and run away A k**er all his life He looms before me like a demon dark and cold But I made you a vow And I won't break it now I'll die here if that's what's in store Or even up the score Face to face we stand in silence now Not one whisper in the crowd Like in a dream I watch his hand float down I hear the shots ring out he's lying dead upon the ground He took your life away What a dark bitter day I held her in my arms and I swore I'd even up the score Even up the score
