Jerry Leger - Protector Lyrics

Looks like a shootout
Give my love to everyone
I'm going out in style
Won't reach for this gun
The soul of a poet
Never stands a chance
With a man full of anger
Who won't consider consequence

Sipping on my last pint
Tipping on my last bill
In a cozy dim lit bar
Testing my will
'Cause I'm too weak with my left
Too slow with my right
I think I love too much
To win this fight tonight

Bright as a match
Clever as a clue
Who did you snatch
To stand by you
Be my protector
When all else falls through
Who's kidding who?

If this is my swan song
This is my pride
Before I'm forced to quit
Let sleeping dogs lie
I won't reach for this holster
'Cause it ain't any good
If I lay down my arms
And be a slave to your words

Bright as a match
Clever as a clue
Who did you snatch
To stand by you
Be my protector
When all else falls through
Who's kidding who?
