Jimmy The Dog - Needle in a Haystack Lyrics

I was workin' makin' sawdust in the burnin' heat of August
At the mill just off-a route 59
I'd done me two tours of Afganistan in Recon went from boy to man
And seen me quite a thing or two
And though I've been through the wringer there's a ring upon my finger meanin'
I'm a real straight shootin' kind of a guy
So when I heard she's playin' around with some suit from outta town
I'm thinking I got me some Recon to do

Now she'd done this shit before but only once or so she told me
And she'd never ever do it again
And she begged me to forgive her pledgin' never again never that was
The last time and she'd been such a fool
As it happen I'd forgive her as I'm less a saint than sinner but
She knew next time I wouldn't be cool
I guess some people never listen and she carried on her kissin' but
This time I had my spies among friends

I lie still and I wait as you take up the bait
And there's nothin' you'll see or you'll hear
When my work is a-done like the smoke I'm a-gone
And you won't find a trace far or near
I'm the needle in a haystack

Yeah, they'd been seen a-foolin' round in a little neighb'rin' town
In a bar they call the Ole Santa Fe
From a distance my field glasses told me I had caught their asses
In his car and they were shit outta luck
They were leavin' for Tucson spun his wheels and they were gone
Left me nothin' but the dust in my face
So I went home and got my weapon and the tools to do the trackin'
And I headed west in my pickup truck

You know I done some time in jail and I ain't never goin' back but
There's some things you know a-needin' some attention
So with my wife and her new beau I'd bide my time but only so that
I'd be sure there could be no happy endin'
So I trailed them to his cabin got my weapon from my wagon
Lullaby'd them in a lead farewell
I dumped the bodies in a sinkhole deep and covered them with rockfall
Guess the next time I'll see them is in Hell

With a pop and a pop and a pop and a pop
Four shots and then they faded away
I done covered my tracks and there's no lookin' back
From now on on the run as they say
I'm the needle in the haystack

Now I'm a needle in a haystack and I done got me some payback
Movin' silent with the silencer on
I guess the Feds are out to get me but I planned my mission careful
And I realize I'll never get home
Now I'm hunted like an animal but gettin' captured's minimal
I do just what the corps taught me to
Since I got into this mire I'm a ready gun for hire
So pray to God I won't be comin' after you

And the lawmen can come from a-near and afar
And they won't find a trace far or near
I lie still and I wait as you take up the bait and
There's nothin' you'll see or you'll hear
I lie still and I wait as you take up the bait and
There's nothin' you'll see or you'll hear
When my work is a-done like the smoke I'm a-gone
And you won't find a trace far or near
'Coz I'm the needle in a haystack
Yeah I'm the needle in a haystack
Needle in a haystack
