The Assassin Lyrics

Jason Isbell

[Verse 1]
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 killing anymore

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Something must be done but I've done all that I can do
What good is an assassin who just can't follow through?

[Verse 3]
She took me in her arms when no one else would have me
Taught me how to throw the blade but [never learned that name?]
Taught me how to shoot so straight without a moment's guilt
She was the most beautiful thing that I have ever killed

[Chorus]
Something must be done but I've done all that I can do
What good is an assassin who just can't follow through?

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Something 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?
