Peacemaker - The Steeldrivers

I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel

I shoot even deader than the way I feel

Made to fit right in your hand

Why i'll never understand

I could been a hammer or a railroad spike

I could been a train rollin through the night

But they gave my voice such a terrible sound

That I wish they'd left me in the ground

I'm a peacemaker

Don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

If I don't deserve the credit

Why do I deserve the blame

When the lion lays down with the lamb

Then you won't find me in nobody's hand

Till that time I will remain

Till the sinners lay down with the saints

I'm a peacemaker

Don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

If I don't deserve the credit

Why do I deserve the blame

I'm a peacemaker

Don't know how I got my name

I'm a peacemaker

If I don't deserve the credit

Why do I deserve the blame

I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel

I shoot even deader than the way I feel
