Red Hands Lyrics
we were caught red-handed
across the county line
but i'll take my chances on the lam
i'm not doin' time
you were driving all night
you had a blood-soaked dress
i was dreamin' restless
and you were thinkin' of a rest
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall down, you fall down
you fall down
red hands, red hands (red red hands)
it's harder livin' on the lam
red hands (red hands)
you've got those red red hands
a stranger's blood is on my hands
i keep my eye on the road
cause i'm out drivin' after midnight
and the vultures have all gone
way down out in the sky
and the battle things that live in the shadow, goin' up
are making a plan
they're gonna take away our life
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall down, you fall down
you fall down
red hands, red hands (red red hands)
it's harder livin' on the lam
red hands (red hands)
you've got those red red hands
a stranger's blood is on my hands
we were caught red-handed
across the county line
but i'll take my chances on the lam
i'm not doin' time
across the county line
but i'll take my chances on the lam
i'm not doin' time
you had a blood-soaked dress
i was dreamin' restless
and you were thinkin' of a rest
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall down, you fall down
you fall down
it's harder livin' on the lam
red hands (red hands)
you've got those red red hands
a stranger's blood is on my hands
cause i'm out drivin' after midnight
and the vultures have all gone
way down out in the sky
and the battle things that live in the shadow, goin' up
are making a plan
they're gonna take away our life
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall from the grace of god
and when you take a man's life
you fall down, you fall down, you fall down
you fall down
it's harder livin' on the lam
red hands (red hands)
you've got those red red hands
a stranger's blood is on my hands
across the county line
but i'll take my chances on the lam
i'm not doin' time

I'm pretty sure, "but i'll take my chances on the land" (and the other places where land i used) should be "but i'll take my chances on the lam" a common term for a fugitive on the run from the law.
