Leroy walked to the village square He had whiskey on his breath
Went there looking for the Dylan boy to avenge his young son's death
Leroy's son he died two months ago Jonny Dylan shot him dead
The judge had ruled it was an accident but it mattered not to him
It's an eye for an eye till the debt is paid forgiveness don't lie in this bed that you made
Now it's your turn to die my will to be done with revenge for the death of my son
In the end it's an eye for an eye
By the corner of the barber shop that's where Leroy saw his prey
Pulled a revolver from inside his coat and held his breath while he took aim
As the boy hit the ground with fear in his eyes Leroy dropped his gun
A desperate father kneeling by the boy's side Leroy killed the wrong man's son
It's an eye for an eye till the debt is paid forgiveness don't lie in this bed that you made
Now it's your turn to die my will to be done with revenge for the death of my son
In the end it's an eye for an eye
Now Leroy'll pay the final price he'll die by his own hand
He got 20 years plus life without parole
And though revenge has been called sweet it leaves a bitter taste
Cause Leroy had to trade it for his soul
It's an eye for an eye till the debt is paid forgiveness don't lie in this bed that you made
Now it's your turn to die my will to be done with revenge for the death of my son
In the end it's an eye for an eye
