Stray Bullit Woman
Greenleaf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The bad bullit
Discharged from blocks away
And nothing like this
Has ever happend before

Stray bullit killed a man today
No enemies but his woman
Had he been standing
A spot a bit away
He had been livin'
Today as they say

Stray bullit killed a man today
No enemies but his woman





Let's gather the parish and save for a pray
