Cimarron 615 - Cain's Blood

Half of my blood is Cain's blood 
Half of my blood is Abel 
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 
One eye looks to heaven 
One eye looks for trouble 
 
I always saw myself as a simple man 
But there's a man in my mirror that I don't understand 
Every day I fight it 
But I know down deep 
The secrets I've been keeping 
Oh they're rising from their sleep 
 
My brother danced on that fine line 
Between the dark and the light 
He never saw thirty-nine 
Me, I try to be thankful 
Just to be alive 
But there are days my demons 
Kick it into overdrive 
 
Half of my blood is Cain's blood 
Half of my blood is Abel 
One eye looks to heaven 
One eye looks for trouble 
 
Half of my blood is Cain's blood 
Half of my blood is Abel 
One eye looks to heaven 
One eye looks for trouble 
 
Half of my blood 
Half of my blood
