Dueling In The Dark

Lyrics

Dueling In The Dark

there was a honey brown man with a bayou tan I loved down in New Orleans
he wrecked my car, he spun me out of style
he said I love you girl, I’d give you this world but all I got’s the streets
this is Luzianne I ain’t made to reconcile

He said "Go on, git. This ain't meant, to last much past tonight.
You're a beautiful baby, but baby this ain't right
you’re a silver spoon I’m a spade, you’re a pocket pistol I’m a sling blade
and since that day I’ve been learning how to fight"

so I tied up my laces and I counted out ten paces
and I turned and drew and knew I’d hit my mark
and now it’s plain to see that all my life my men and me
we’ve been dueling in the dark, just dueling in the dark

now there’s a long-leg boy like Gene and Roy I loved out in Tennessee
campfire meets saltwater, wild west meets the east
he said I love you girl, I’d give you this world but a poor boy’s got to eat
this here’s a man’s world and I’m the one to beat

you’re a silver spoon I’m a spade, you’re a pocket pistol I’m a sling blade
and all y’all girls can do anyway is cheat

so I tied up my laces and I counted out ten paces
and I turned and drew and knew I’d hit my mark
and now it’s plain to see that all my life my men and me
we’ve been dueling in the dark, just dueling in the dark

He said "Go on, git. This ain't meant, to last much past tonight.
You're a beautiful baby, but baby this ain't right
