Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir
On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire
Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn
Well, he froze one night, Mama said Serves him right
The devil can keep him warm
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Guess I always saw myself as a simple man
But there's a man in the mirror I don't understand
Every day I fight it, but I know down deep
It's the secrets I've been keeping
Rising from their sleep
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
There's an angel and a devil playing tug of war with
my soul Half of my blood is Cain's blood
The battle rages on each and every day Half of my blood is Abel's
It's all I can do just to try to maintain control Half of my blood is Cain's blood
My one and only hope, one and only hope is to my knees and pray
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire
Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn
Well, he froze one night, Mama said Serves him right
The devil can keep him warm
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
But there's a man in the mirror I don't understand
Every day I fight it, but I know down deep
It's the secrets I've been keeping
Rising from their sleep
Half of my blood is Abel's
One eye looks to Heaven
One eye looks for trouble
my soul Half of my blood is Cain's blood
The battle rages on each and every day Half of my blood is Abel's
It's all I can do just to try to maintain control Half of my blood is Cain's blood
My one and only hope, one and only hope is to my knees and pray
