[B]
[C#]
My name is Spangler V, and I'm walking through the ice and [B] snow.
[C#] Let my jaws drill me out, I speak, [B] let a [F#] bucket broach.
[G#] [G#m] [C#] Don't be frightened, there's not a river in my neck.
Am I cold 45?
[B] [C#] Don't look at me the wrong [B] way, cause I got [F#] nothing to lose tonight.
[C#] I'm walking the [C#m] JT's, [D#] [C#] and put a dollar [E] down.
[A]
[C#] Send a dollar into a view.
I start drinking [E] and I turn around.
[A] [C#] Cause I feel a pair of eyes, burning into [E] the back of my neck.
[A] [C#] And it's hitting to the barkeep, and [F#m] God damn, brother, [E] what's the matter with me?
[C#m] So I stood up from my seat, and [E] pressed a cold steel to his head.
[A] Said, [C#] don't you know who the fuck I am?
He said, Steger Lane.
Bitch, I'll take my life.
[G#m] I [C#] got a team back home.
[B] And I've [F#] got a wife.
[C#m] He [C#] said, please, Steger Lane.
I'm a friend, not a foe.
[B] With [C#] your girls with Billy.
I [B] took the lead goal.
[F#] I just thought you should know.
[C#]
[A] I picked up a whip, and then the season walked [E] outside.
You're the first last girl I see.
[F#] That's just [C] my blood, stuck a boy up.
Last shot, she take a little ride.
[C#] I see the car running.
Pull down the brim [E] of my backstitching hat.
[C#] I look around, and I see no witness.
One last [E] drink from my silver glass.
[C#] I kick open the door.
See the bodies in a twine.
See the fear in their [E] eyes.
I pull back home 45.
[C#] And I feel divine.
Whoa!
Steger Lane, you're a bad, bad man.
[G#m] [C#] Oh, Steger Lane, [B] you're going [F#] straight to hell.
[G#] [C#] Steger Lane, Steger Lane, you're a bad, bad man.
[G#m] [C#] Oh, Steger Lane, [E] [B] you're going [E] straight to hell.
[B]
