Crows Feet
Black Pistol Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I was a crow, darlin', never leave this town
Never let my feet touch the
Never let my feet touch the ground
So?
Left just a path
Me, I was made, darlin' made to fly
Eyes black as coal, hear the angels cry
You sold your soul now,
So now you're fixin' to die
Get my hands on a firing saw
Keep it locked to where you can't come near my heart
Coming right back in my tracks?
If I was a crow, darlin', never leave this town
Never let my feet touch the
Never let my feet touch the ground
If I was a crow, darlin', never leave this town
Never let my feet touch the
Never let my feet touch the ground
Call all the?




Wide eyed believers
We got to find if your life's passed you by

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Pistol Fire's "Crows Feet" are about a hypothetical scenario where the singer is a crow who never wants to leave the town and never wants to touch the ground. This is likely a reflection of the singer's desire to escape the reality of their life and situations they are dealing with. They express a sense of being made to fly, but also the feeling of being trapped by circumstance, all the while having a deep connection to life and death, with eyes as black as coal and hearing the angels cry.


The mention of someone selling their soul and fixing to die probably refers to someone who made a deal with the devil and is now facing the consequences of their actions. The singer seems to be implying that they are willing to fight and take revenge if necessary, as they mention getting their hands on a firing saw and keeping it locked to protect their heart. The repetition of the chorus, "if I was a crow, darlin', never leave this town, never let my feet touch the ground," serves to reinforce the idea of running away and escaping from the harsh reality of life.
