Blue Ruin

One morning after drinking
 Heavy in the night
 ♪
 Every inch of my poor bones
 Seemed to ache and moan in wait
 
 Cause all my troubles, come tomorrow
 Will be gone and then it's on to
 Christmas day
 ♪
 If Jesus had been born just eleven days before
 ♪
 Would the world have stopped to see
 At least those on the street headed for Newtown
 ♪
 And of all those on their way
 Could the miracle have made
 One lay his guns down
 ♪
 Blue ruin
 "That trigger stole his mind, how am I to blame?"
 
 I bet you never even aimed at one
 ♪
 There's to many people killing people
 To put an end to evil
 What can be done
 ♪
 Well for now who'd like to tell me
 On that morning when twenty-seven fell
 How any lesson in counting could ever
 Ever amount to watching them fall
 And why worst of all
 Come Christmas morning
 They'll still be gone
 ♪
 Blue ruin
 ♪
 Blue ruin
 One morning after drinking
 Heavy in the night
 ♪
 I stopped to take a look
 At the crook that stole this holiday
 ♪
 Well this Christmas
 My only wish is
 We put these guns away
