Talking to the Wrong Man - Rustic Melodies

You walked in loud like you own this place
Cheap talk hanging on your face
Boots too clean for a man that tough
Talking big but it ain't enough
I was sitting low with a glass half gone
Didn't plan to get pulled along
But you kept talking like you knew my name
Like I was part of your little game
I said son you don't want to go this way
Some lines you don't 'cross just for play
You're talking to the wrong man tonight
One more word and it won't end right
Ain't no bluffing these eyes you see
I've been where you don't want to be
This ain't a game and I ain't your kind
You're pushing past a warning sign
Better step back while you still can
You're talking to the wrong man
You laughed it off took one more step
Didn't know what you just met
Room went still even cards went dead
Like the air knew what would lay ahead
Bartender paused mid pour in hand
Like he's seen this before go bad
Some stories don't need to be told
They just unfold in a way too cold
I stood up slow
No need to shout
Some things get handled without a crowd
You're talking to the wrong man tonight
This road ends in a barroom fight
You don't see what's beneath this skin
But you're about to step right in
Ain't no hero ain't no saint
Just a man who does what you want
Better walk while you still can
'Cause you're talking to the wrong man
Chair slid back boots hit the floor
That's the sound you don't ignore
One wrong move and it all goes south
Too late now to close your mouth
You were talking to the wrong man tonight
Now you're learning what that means in a fight
No more talk no more pretend
This is where your story bends
Dust settles slow and it's all done
Another lesson for another young gun
And the silence says what it can
You were talking to the wrong man
