Smoking 45
All words and music by Don Eidman

I can see you’re a big man sir
You like to push your weight around
I've seen men fall like dominos
When you put them to the ground
.
I see fear in some folk's eyes
Whenever you come near
I'll give you my fair warning
Let me make myself clear
.
You can’t outrun a bullet sir
And you can’t duck the lead
If you don't learn the lesson
You just may end up dead.

I wish for you to go away
The same way that you came
But you come one step close
And you’re gonna lose this game.

Chorus
Smoking 45 boy, smoking 45
You're end up on the wrong side 
Of my 45  
.
You're twice as big as I am
And you're twice as mean
I try to be a peaceful man
But you take me to extremes
.
Now everybody has a time
When they must make a stand
My rope is getting thin
I'm just hanging by a strand
.
I wish for you to go away
The same way that you came
But you come one step close
And you’re gonna lose this game.

You can never find peace
With a gun in your hand
Can't solve your problems
By putting down a man
I should have learn my lesson
A long time ago
So now I’m locked away 
I can’t say I didn’t know

So now you’re lying dead sir
And there leading me away 
I’m gonna die in prison
While you rot in your grave
 
So my days are getting shorter
I lost my appeal
Never learned my lesson 
Now I guess I’m going to feel

You can never find peace
With a gun in your hand
Can't solve your problems
By putting down a man
I should have learn my lesson
A long time ago
So now I’m locked away 
I can’t say I didn’t know

Smoking 45 boys 
Smoking 45 
You ended up on the wrong side
Smoking 45 boys
Smoking 45

I ended up on the wrong side
Of my 45
Smoking 45 boys
Smoking 45
There’s never a good side
Of a smoking 45
Never a good side of a smoking 4
