Right Between the Eyes by Chris Thompson Lyrics
It was as I remember in 1921
Deacon and his brother were on the run
They holed up with some women to work out an alibi
He was standing by the window when they shot him
They shot him right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
I was working on the railroad from Kansas to Washington
Found me this pretty woman, gonna give me some
Gimme some lovin' and affection or least that's what she thought
I was climbing out the window when she got me
Shot me right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
Long as you remember, not to do what your brother done
Don't go cheating on your woman or a lawman with a gun
'Cause just when you think you're safely 'cross the danger zone
She'll be standing right beside you, ready, ready
To shoot you right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
Deacon and his brother were on the run
They holed up with some women to work out an alibi
He was standing by the window when they shot him
They shot him right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
I was working on the railroad from Kansas to Washington
Found me this pretty woman, gonna give me some
Gimme some lovin' and affection or least that's what she thought
I was climbing out the window when she got me
Shot me right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
Long as you remember, not to do what your brother done
Don't go cheating on your woman or a lawman with a gun
'Cause just when you think you're safely 'cross the danger zone
She'll be standing right beside you, ready, ready
To shoot you right between, right between the eyes
Shot him right between, right between the eyes
