The Assassin - Jason Isbell

I used to be a killer, best killer in the land

Killed women and children just as easy as a man

I rolled their mangled bodies nonchalantly out the door

But now I’ve lost my taste for killin' anymore

Made me lots of money, was the best at my job

I never had to nine-to-five or cheat or steal or rob

Just load up my guns and leave 'em on the floor

But I ain’t got the stomach for killing anymore

Somethin' must be done

But I’ve done all that I can do

What good is an assassin

Who just can’t follow through?

She took me in her arms when no one else would have me

Taught me how to throw the blade

Taught me how to shoot so straight without a moment’s

She was the most beautiful thing that I have ever killed

Somethin' must be done

But I’ve done all that I can do

What good is an assassin

Who just can’t follow through?

Somethin' must be done

But I’ve done all that I can do

What good is an assassin

Who just can’t follow through?

Who just can’t follow through
