Brother, Run the Razor
Cowboy in a Suit
Brother through the back door
Me through the front
Razor in your boot
Twelve in my front
Three of 'em sittin'
Counting the take
Don't say a word
Don't make 'em wait
Brother, run the razor
Brother, run it clean
I'll cover the doorway
Make sure the room screams
Brother, run the razor
You took the first one
Quick at the spine
I took the second one
Hammer, kerosene, time
Third one tried to crawl
Out the kitchen door
Brother, you got him before
He could call the law
Brother, run the razor
Brother, run it clean
I'll cover the doorway
Make sure the room screams
Brother, run the razor
Burned the take in a barrel out back
Burned the books, burned the names
You smiled at me through the smoke
Like we was kids in a forest aflame
You said "I love you, brother"
I said "I love you too, kin"
And we drove home with the radio off
And the windows wide open in the wind
Brother, run the razor, y'all
Brother, run it true
The world don't have a brother
Like the brother I had in you
Brother, run the razor
Brother, run the razor
Brother, Run the Razor

Lyrics
Brother through the back door Me through the front Razor in your boot Twelve in my front
Three of 'em sittin' Counting the take Don't say a word Don't make 'em wait
Brother, run the razor Brother, run it clean I'll cover the doorway Make sure the room screams Brother, run the razor
You took the first one Quick at the spine I took the second one Hammer, kerosene, time Third one tried to crawl Out the kitchen door Brother, you got him before He could call the law
Brother, run the razor Brother, run it clean I'll cover the doorway Make sure the room screams Brother, run the razor
Burned the take in a barrel out back Burned the books, burned the names You smiled at me through the smoke Like we was kids in a forest aflame
You said "I love you, brother" I said "I love you too, kin" And we drove home with the radio off And the windows wide open in the wind
Brother, run the razor, y'all Brother, run it true The world don't have a brother Like the brother I had in you Brother, run the razor Brother, run the razor
