Jason Isbell - The Assassin lyrics

I used to be a killer
Best killer in the land
Killed women and children just as
Easy as a man i rolled their mangled bodies
Nonchalantly out the door
But now I've lost my
Taste for killing anymore

Made me lots of money, was the best at my job
I never had to nine-to-five or
Cheat or steal or rob
Just load up my guns and
Leave 'em on the floor but, I ain't got the
Stomach for killing anymore

Something must be done but I've done
All that I can do
What good is an assassin who
Just can't follow through?

She took me in her arms when
No one else would have me

Taught me how to shoot so
Straight without a moment's guilt
She was the most beautiful thing
That I have ever killed

Something must be done but I've done
All that I can do
What good is an assassin who
Just can't follow through?

Something must be done but I've done
All that I can do
What good is an assassin who
Just can't follow through?
Who just can't follow through?
