I'll let you go on one condition though

That the one you love will face me like a man

Go tell him this it's for your happiness

Tell him to run or get a gun and make a stand

I'll promise you because I worship you

My gun will have no shells I'll just pretend

But I must know before I let you go

The hands of a man I leave you in



His hands must be gentle when they hold my girl

And his hands must be strong because they hold my world

My life will end why your new life begins

The hands of a man I leave you in

The hands of a man I leave you in
