Dare Master

[Intro]
I haven't seen you for a week
I'm worried but uh, where's the money?
There's certainly no way you would---
Would ya?

[Verse 1]
You wouldn't dare to leave me
No, not at all
I wasn't followed so, please
Return my call

I doubled back, I knocked three times
The door was opened wide
All the wool in our bed
Sliced and turned outside

[Verse 2]
You wouldn't dare to leave me
Not with all I know
Your Mama's bar, your brother's trainyard
Everywhere you'd go

So, I took a powder 'cross the tracks
Found your family too
When I asked if they'd seen ya
All they said was "Who?"

[Verse 3]
Law on my tail, I can smell when I've been framed
So I, took your picture knocking and got a bunch o' different names
Heard the stories of the others you'd set up to take the fall
And how they all looked just like me, guess that's why you didn't call

[Bridge]
I might'a believed that you got drunk and spilled
All about our job, damn near got you killed
I'd call it my mistake, find a safer place to hide

It don't add up and I might be a fool 'cause
I never really had no special schoolin'
But two and two, sure don't make a five
My headhunt starts tonight

[Interlude]

[Bridge 2]
Lost the cops, found a dive, got drunk enough for three
Cried the blues a bit too loud and bounced to the street
My tale of your two-timing and the way that I was framed
Won myself a helpful tip from one of your old flames

[Verse 4]
Drank some coffee, cleaned my revolver, strapped it to my side
I coulda kissed the dame who told me exactly where you'd hide
Slipped the window open, kicked your carcass out of bed
Now you! Tell the truth! Or the next one's in your head

[Verse 5]
You would not dare to leave me
No no not through that door
The hot lead won't be whizzin by
You'll just hit the floor

It was a job before the pleasure ride
If you'd have shot straight and hadn't lied
We'd split the take and then split for good
But hey! Get back down! Understood?

[Verse 6]
You would not dare to leave me
And even if you do
Hey, check out this pretty little wanted poster
This fellow kinda looks like you

I ripped your mug off the postman's wall
Dropped em one of them anonymous calls
So my aim is getting steady and my temp is getting warmer
They say it's dead or alive, I'll make sure it's the former

[Outro]
If you dare to leave me
If you dare to leave, choose wise
Do you want a ball and chain around your ankles?
Or one between your eyes?

Go on and leave, I dare ya
