It's Own Kinda Hell - Pepper Coyote Cover (NEW!) (Patreon)

Gather ‘round cowboys, step back from the bar
Sit and I’ll spin you a tale thick with woe
Bitter and raging till nothing could stop him
A coyote named Siph and the path that he rode
CHORUS
Some folks may never love wisely or well
But a love song unsung is its own kind of hell
Born with no parents, and no need for friendship
Spent his days drinkin’ and rilin’ up fights
Soon he grew lonesome and craved something bigger
Someone to help him get through his hard life.
One day he’s sittin in a bar much like this one,
howling around like the coyotes do,
when he sees eyes of green, hair red as a flame,
and a smile ‘tht could make any black heart beat true.
CHORUS
Now Siph is no stranger to pickin up cowpokes.
but this one seems special, was he sent from above?
Siph’s gets all nervous, but for maybe no reason
another two hours and they’re making - OUT
Spoken: Sorry Folks, this is a family song.
Less than a month the two’s runnin’ together
ramblin for once without causin’ no harm
but see here’s the issue, Red’s already taken
by someone immune to a coyote’s charm.
CHORUS
Eventually Siph, he can’t take it no more
Can’t stand the thought of more wasted years
It’s bend or be broken and he knows the outcome
Packs up and leaves to beat anger and tears
Over his shoulder he sees Red’s dark window
Askin’ god why he can’t get what he needs
Sulkin’ on horseback Siph rides to the city
To busy his mind with some beer and dark deeds
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Gamblin, whorin, and drinkin’ away all his pain
Longing to see Red pick up a guitar and howl again
Spend so many nights tossin’ and turnin’ and wonderin’ why he had left
Hopin’ to see those eyes of green, hair red as flame.
Siph has a chance to get in on a heist
It’d take him close back to where he last saw Red
Robbing a train cuz he’s got naught to lose.
Track down his lover or else end up dead.
Job’s going smooth, in the dark of the night
till a flash of a badge and a gun much the same
No time fer questions, no time to think twice
Siph takes a shot (gunshot noise and pause)
and sees eyes of green, and the hair red as flame
SECOND BRIDGE
Marshal takes a fall, out the car, down a ravine,
Siph’s gang hauls him off, giving him no time t’grieve.
Only knows some time later he’s lost in a bar, drowning in pain
told a body’s been found with hair of red and eyes of green
Next thing Siph knows, the bar’s torn to pieces
Blood’s on his paws, his gun lay empty
Mind may be broken, he turns to the bartender.
The last thing he hears is a snarled “Where is he?”
Siph can’t find peace and that should be th’end
His yearnin’ fer Red who he could never be with
The cavalry caught him, he was hung for his killings
“Where is he” were the last words from the coyote named Siph
Course sometimes folks say, if yer real unlucky
Y'might see a ki-yote, clothes tattered and spare
Hear the jangle've spurs and the tapping of claws
"Where is he?” are the last words that you’ll ever hear.
Some folks may never love wisely or well
But a love song unsung is its own kind of hell

Hiya folks! I did a cover that one of my dear friends recently released. I had the great pleasure of having ShadowWolfen sing the beautiful and fun lyrics. It's a smooth feelsy ballad about two coyotes and a whole lotta yappin' and lovin'. And no love song is without tragedy.
Commissioned by Siphedious. Thank you yote <3
Hope you enjoy! Original song was by Pepper Coyote. https://lookleft.us/
