Cain's Blood Lyrics

Half of my blood is Cain's Blood, half of my blood is A---bel's
One eye looks to heaven, one eye looks for trouble

Verse 1
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"

Chorus
Half of my blood is Cain's Blood, half of my blood is A---bel's
One eye looks to heaven, one eye looks for trouble
Verse 2
Guess I always saw myself as a simple man
But there's a man in the mirror I don't understand
Gsus Every day I fight it, but I know down deep
It's the secrets I've been keeping, rising from their sleep

Chorus
Half of my blood is Cain's Blood, half of my blood is A---bel's
One eye looks to heaven, one eye looks for trouble
Bridge
There's an angel and a devil playing tug of war with my soul (Half of my blood is Cain's blood)
The battle rages on each and every day (Half of my blood is A---bel's)
It's all I can do just to try and maintain control (Half of my blood is Cain's blood)
My one and only hope is to hit my knees and pray

Chorus
Half of my blood is Cain's Blood, half of my blood is A---bel's
One eye looks to heaven, one eye looks for trouble (repeat and fade)
