Moot Davis - Black Y White Picture Lyrics

I got a black and white picture
Of the man I used to be
Features they all look the same
But I swear it ain't me
I was young and always ready

But I never understood
Some times the things I want
Well them things ain't no good
Her hair was long and curly
And her eyes sparkled and shined
And when I walked down the boulavard
I held her hand in mine
We were set to marry early next spring
So I went into town

And I bought a ring
When from the pawn shop window
I couldn't believe my eyes
There walked my wife to be arm n' arm
With another guy
I traded that gold ring
For a silver .44
I loaded it right at the counter

And I walked out the door
I kept my distance
As I followed them down
To a little hotel
On the wrong side of town
I waited in the lobby
While they had their fun

And when they made their way down the stairs
I pulled out my gun
The moment they saw me
There was fear in their eyes
I leveled my .44
And I pulled the trigger twice
As her and her young lover
Lay bleeding on the stairs

I turned my gun on everyone
Cause I no longer cared
I shot the old porter
And the bell captin too
The front desk clerk
And a hotel guest
All before I was through

When the gun no longer fired
I threw it at the rest
And went and sat down next to my love
And awaited my arrest
As the sirens grew louder
And a crowd gathered round

I noticed something clenched
In her fist
That I hadn't seen till now
I pryied her fingers open
Wondering what it could be
When to my horror I saw

It was a picture of me
I got a black and white picture
Of the man I used to be
Features they all look the same
But I swear it ain't me
