Intro

Verse 1

Well hes been collecting since the age of nine

Every shiny bullet that he could find

Built himself a house with the wooden floors

Put the shiny bullets in a chest of drawers

Verse 2

Well his wifes long gone and the kids have grown

And trees they fall down on their own

Memories fade like an old slideshow

But the bullets still shine like coins in the snow

Verse 3

Well one day took himself into town

The men with a truck well they came around

Took the television and the gun from the war

And almost every bullet from the chest of drawers

Verse 4

Well he came back home and found the house in a mess

Run into the bedroom and the old brown chest

Didnt care much for the VCR

But he cried for the space where the bullets were

Verse 5

The men drove the truck down into town

And sold all the silver they had found

But they couldnt sell the bullets cos they werent live rounds

So they dug a big hole put the bullets in the ground

Instrumental

Verse 6

Now he doesnt leave the house much anymore

Cos the men are gonna come like they did before

And hell hold onto the three or four

Bullets that they left in the chest of drawers

Oh yeah the bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
