lyrics

It could be worse boy, others weren’t as lucky as you
Yeah some were stripped and murdered, left like trash on the beach
Beer cans in the surf, fish suck on your bones
Just like deadwood, salt in your blood

It’s better this way
It’s better this way
It’s better this way
It’s better this way

Shake hands with death Hank
Shake hands with death Hank
Shake hands with death Hank

Your strings were rusted, and your collar frayed
Your face aged and lined by the mistakes you made
So roll up your sleeve, the ambulance is coming I do believe
No pain involved, your problem solved
Headlines tomorrow, this is true, in black and white “Hank Turns Blue”

Well it’s better this way
It’s better this way
It’s better this way
It’s better this way

Shake hands with death Hank
Shake hands with death Hank
Shake hands with death Hank

Goodbye Hank Deadwood, Goodbye Hank Deadwood
Goodbye Hank Deadwood
Well your records don’t sell no more, no more
Your records don’t sell no more
Your records don’t sell no more, no more
Your records don’t sell no more
Just one shot of heroin and you won’t feel one damn thing

Well it’s b-b-better this way
