Lyrics

[Chorus] Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel One eye looks to heaven And one eye looks for trouble [Verse 1] Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn Well he froze one night, Mama said serves him right The devil can keep him warm [Chorus] Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel One eye looks to heaven And one eye looks for trouble [Verse 2] Guess I always saw myself as a simple man There's a man in the mirror I don't understand Everyday I fight it but I know down deep It's the secrets I've been keeping rising from their sleep [Verse 3] Now that you know me Do you still need me, or just half the man? Deep in the darkness, do you still see the light? Will you take me as I am? [Chorus] Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel One eye looks to heaven And one eye looks for trouble Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel One eye looks to heaven And one eye looks for trouble [Outro] Half of my blood is Cain's blood Half of my blood is Abel One eye looks to heaven One eye looks for trouble
