"Stack Shot Billy" lyrics - THE BLACK KEYS

THE BLACK KEYS
"Stack Shot Billy"
(Dan Auerbach / Patrick Carney)

Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack's right hand
Send him away to the promised land

[Chorus:]
Stack shot Billy
.45
Stack shot Billy
Billy lay down and died

Stack Lee had himself an evil brain
Loved his gun and his sweet cocaine
Stack got quiet when the shadows fell
Knew soon enough that he'd burn in hell

[Chorus:]
Stack shot Billy
.45
Stack shot Billy
Billy lay down and died

[Guitar solo]

Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack's right hand
Send him away to the promised land

[Chorus:]
Stack shot Billy
.45
Stack shot Billy
Billy lay down and died
