_ _ 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. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
