The song is about a vagrant con man and murderer. The music style was inspired by Tom Waits and the subject matter was inspired by the Highwayman character in the animated TV show Over The Garden Wall.
[verse]
Let me tell you 'bout a
Burnt grin
A filed-tooth shark
Wrapped in old skin
Six feet of ice in a
Cold-eyed stare
Never thought o' cheatin'
As bein' unfair
[Chorus]
He's a man who travels
From town to town
Don't catch his eye
He don't mess around
[verse]
Black leather and
One twenty proof
Leering through eyes
So weary of truth
Short on cotton
High on fleece
A bullet in the chamber
Cocked for release
[Chorus]
He's a man who travels
From town to town
Don't catch his eye
He don't mess around
[spoken word]
Same old story to begin with
Victim young, good looking
Wantеd to get on television
Had еverything it takes for a great career
Someplace along the line
Got mixed up with the wrong guy
You know
Wound up dead
[Chorus]
He's a man who travels
From town to town
Don't catch his eye
He don't mess around
