Sixteen Ways Lyrics

16 years, 16 ways
They shot my babies by mistake
I'm all alone on a midnight ride
My 16 kids they all have died
They ain't coming back
It's too late

I haven't slept in 14 days
Now it's time to barricade
Myself in these four walls
My 16 kids they all are gone
They ain't coming back
It's too late
They shot my babies but
They killed my faith

I worked so hard for 40 years
I told myself i had nothing to fear
Then one by one they got shot down
The youngest one held a gun to his ear
They ain't coming back
It's too late
They shot my babies but
They killed my faith.
