Man Behind the Gun

Verse 1
In a faded wooden cabin beneath some rugged pines
Joe stares at the remnants of a life he left behind
A dusty leather Bible, his daddy's ole bird gun
Fragments of a future he had soaked in rum

Chorus
Sawed off steel and wood are laying by the bed
Two demons in the chambers, devil in his head
Tonight he's gonna choose which way to run
A pathway to redemption or the man behind the gun

Verse 2
He slumps onto a pillow too drunk to feel the sting
A final swallow from the bottle he’d been worshiping
His finger on the trigger, when he hears a voice say
You can never fall below the reach of My grace

Chorus
Sawed off steel and wood were laying by the bed
Two demons in the chambers, devil in his head
Tonight he’s gonna choose which way to run
A pathway to redemption or the man behind the gun

Bridge
He opened up the Gospel to rip those pages apart
But those words in red, sent a bullet to his heart

Chorus
Sawed off steel and wood were laying by the bed
Two demons in the chambers, now Jesus in his head
On that night he chose which way to run
A pathway to redemption saved the man behind the gun
A pathway to redemption ...  saved the man behind the gun
