[Verse 1]
We put down vows on a Bible
But love was dead on arrival
Should've took all that money for the ring and bought a bottle
Dealing with the devil is a downward spiral
Should've slipped off in that water at that Sunday teen revival

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But instead I'm comin', gunnin'
Runnin' cold-blooded, better watch your back

[Chorus]
Can't turn the other cheek
Ain't gonna practice what I preach
Ford was gone 'fore he put it in drive
No, you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival

[Verse 2]
Call me the undertaker
Son, you done met your maker
I don't need no savior
'Cause I know right where I'm bound
Blue lights blasting through the window
Sirens on a crescendo
Stare in their lifeless eyes and burn a camel down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Law man's comin', gunnin'
Runnin' cold-blooded and I can't turn back

[Chorus]
Can't turn the other cheek
Ain't gonna practice what I preach
Ford was gone 'fore he put it in drive
No, you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Give me that sentence, skip on a trial
Yeah, I'm guilty by a green mile
Give me thirty years, give me Yellow Mama
Put me in a chair, baby, I don't care

[Chorus]
Sure can't turn the other cheek
Ain't gonna practice what I preach
Ford was gone 'fore he put it in drive
No, you don't touch another man's wife
When you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Yeah, when you do that dance, there's no chance in survival
Dead on arrival
