Cain's Blood - Michael Johnson

Half of my blood is Cain’s blood, half of my blood is Abel

One eye looks to heaven and one eye looks for trouble

Sweet mother, she sang in the Sunday choir

On her head was a halo, she spoke brimstone and fire

Daddy lived by the bottle, Daddy died by the barn

Well he froze one night, Mama said serves him right

The devil can keep him warm

Half of my blood is Cain’s blood, half of my blood is Abel

One eye looks to heaven and one eye looks for trouble

Guess I always saw myself as a simple man

There’s a man in the mirror I don’t understand

Everyday I fight it but I know down deep

It’s the secrets I’ve been keeping rising from their sleep

Now that you know me, do you still need me

Or just half the man

Deep in the darkness, do you still see the light

Will you take me as I am

Half of my blood is Cain’s blood, half of my blood is Abel

One eye looks to heaven and one eye looks for trouble

Half of my blood is Cain’s blood, half of my blood is Abel

One eye looks to heaven and one eye looks for trouble
