Intro
Verse
N.C. E B
I overheard 'em talkin' as they laid me out
B N.C. B
Right there on the table at the factory
I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was 'bout
N.C. B
My edition, it was limited, apparently
They took me out back, they said to test me
Didn't really care for whatever they fed me
All I know is, next thing, I felt empty
And couldn't hear a thing
Chorus
I could'a been a railroad spike
I could'a been a little kid's bike
I could'a been somethin' real nice
With my white pearls and silver
But they gave me a trigger
And made me a killer
Verse
They stuck me on a shelf at some mom and pop's
In between some medals from World War II
Wasn't twenty-four hours 'fore I got bought
And ended up in some safe in some livin' room
I was sleepin' when my handle felt that hand
I freaked out when I looked up and saw that kid
He pulled me out and tried to show me to his friend
Oh, I wasn't made to miss, thank God he did
Chorus
I could'a been a railroad spike
I could'a been a little kid's bike
I could'a been somethin' real nice
With my white pearls and silver
But they gave me a trigger
And made me a killer
Bridge
Oh, I hated myself and the stories I'd heard
From a .30-06, swore I must'a been cursed
Till the devil broke in with a knife one night
And I knew right then it was my time
Chorus
I could'a been a railroad spike
I could'a been a little kid's bike
I could'a been somethin' real nice
With my white pearls and silver-er-er-er
But they gave me a trigger
And made me a killer
Outro
Oh, they gave me a trigger
And made me a killer
