You know I can’t understand it
I find it hard to explin
If you’re looking for an answer
Look away, look away

Run away, run away, ‘cause it’s time to choose
I put my hands to my face can I hear the truth?
Turn away, turn away when I talk to you
I put my hands to my face

Run away, run away ain’t no time to lose
I got my bag and my bottle and my medicine too
Don’t know where I’m headed or where I’m going to
Run away, run away, run away from you, oh

I wish that I could black out
Wake up in a month
I’m watching my back now
What a whole lot of fun

Run away, run away, ‘cause it’s time to choose
I put my hands to my face can I hear the truth?
Turn away, turn away when I talk to you
I put my hands to my face

Run away, run away ain’t no time to lose
I got my bag and my bottle and my medicine too
Don’t know where I’m headed or where I’m going to
Run away, run away, run away from you, oh

Run away, run away, ‘cause it’s time to choose
I put my hands to my face can I hear the truth?
Turn away, turn away when I talk to you
I put my hands to my face

Run away, run away ain’t no time to lose
I got my bag and my bottle and my medicine too

Don’t know where I’m headed or where I’m going to
Run away, run away, run away from you, oh

Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away

Take you down to a place I know
The only place where the sun don’t show
When you’re there and you got my eye

Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be my girl, I’m gonna be your man

Take you down where the sun don’t set
Yesterday ain’t over yet
When you’re there and you got my eye

Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be my girl, I’m gonna be your man

Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be mine
Come on baby don’t you understand you’re gonna be my girl, I’m gonna be your man
I’m gonna be your man
I’m gonna be your man
I’m gonna be your man

You know what’s always on my mind
You know me like yourself
Push me aside again
Well it’s one more shove and I like it for the thrill

You ‘oughta know what I’m gonna do, what I need to do

You ‘oughta know, you’re gonna see
You ‘oughta know what I’m gonna do
You ‘oughta know, you’re gonna see
You ‘oughta know what I’m going to do, what I need to do

Get on this carosel and ride
Come on don’t stop yourself
Come on and just enjoy the ride
Come on, hold on, just don’t run and tell

You ‘oughta know what I’m gonna do, what I need to do

You ‘oughta know, you’re gonna see
You ‘oughta know what I’m gonna do
You ‘oughta know, you’re gonna see
You ‘oughta know what I’m going to do, what I need to do

Little bird on an old oak tree,
Tell me now, no lying to me.
Is my life much safer down this line?
“I’ve seen snake and rabid dogs,
Big toothed cats and mean-eyed hogs,
Other than than I think you will be fine.
I must warn all passers by,
You can jump in ditches you can even hide.
It just won’t help.
I wouldn’t even try.”

Little bird listen up and see
I’m not scared sitting in that tree
Thank you sir but cats won’t make me cry.
I’ve seen snakes and had two dogs,
I’m bothered even by the hogs.
I must go now I’m running out of time.
I got mine and you got yours,
Gonna hide from witches knocking on my door,
There aint much left,
I must go on and try.

Hold on now you should have been you could have been
Hold on now it should have been the other way
So long now it should have been it could have been
Tell me you think there could be more to say

True love, true love, true love, too late
True love, true love, true love, too late

What’s wrong now you spent the time to pull me in
Tell me how you seem to think the other way
Hold on now it should have been it could have been
Pull me down just so you can push away

True love, true love, true love, too late
True love, true love, true love, too late

I’d love to sit here with my eyes wide open
My hands tied and my lips sewn shut
I tell you this I’d be better off choking
Seven or eleven, seven or eleven
When there’s no bets down you know it makes it hard to win

Hold on now you should have been you could have been
Hold on now it should have been the other way
So long now it should have been it could have been
Tell me you think there could be more to say

I’d love to sit here with my eyes wide open
My hands tied and my lips sewn shut
I tell you this I’d be better off choking
Seven or eleven, seven or eleven
When there’s no bets down you know it makes it hard to win

Everybody, when you’re lonely
Everybody turn it up
Everybody drinking something
Everybody turn it up

Everybody listen to me
Everybody turn it up
Everybody feeling something
Everybody turn it up

Everybody, when she’s ready
Everybody turn it up
Everybody drinks are empty
Everybody turn it up
Everybody feeling sorry
Everybody turn it up
Everybody, when you’re lonely
Everybody turn it up
Everybody drinking something
Everybody turn it up

I’ve got something new for ya
Sitting on the brink mama
Screaming heads will soon tire
The sun is setting in a fire.

You will surely know
You better pray for what you know

You will surely know cuz

The flames are warm
But I’m not burning

Change is coming in the season
Time is what we’re hope to saving
Screaming heads will soon tire
The sun is setting in a fire

You will surely know
You better pray for what you know

You will surely know cuz

The flames are warm
But I’m not burning

Hey baby you know we’re feeling alright
Wait ‘till seven then we turn out the light
Well the look on your face
Oh you’re surprised
Well I know what I know and I know what I know ain’t right

What I know ain’t right

Hey baby you know it’s Saturday night
I lost my keys and I can’t get inside
Let me come in

Oh if I might
Well I know what I know and I know what I know ain’t right

What I know ain’t right

Hey baby come and read me my rights
You know I’m headed to the big house tonight
I’ve got you on my arm
I’ve got things on my mind
And I know what I know and I know what I know ain’t right

What I know ain’t right

The times we’re waiting for, the times of tomorrow
All is fine and I got mine and I got this face to follow
The smoke will not clear
We can’t feel this sorrow
I can’t see, can’t sleep, can’t even swallow

Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease
Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease

A man was lost today, tomorrow another
I wait in line, price check on nine
Yes sir I’ll give a dollar
The smoke will not clear
We can’t feel this sorrow
I can’t breath, can’t sleep so here’s a pill to swallow

Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease
Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease

Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease
Time’s ticking, hearts breaking, souls taken while we’re spreading,
While we spread this disease

On this black road there’s no use in lying
‘Cause the mouth speaks while the devil’s teeth are smiling

On this black road you spread wide open
Look at all the things you thought were always broken
Don’t let us see, we might not like it on this black road

Don’t let us see, we might not like it
But sin’s only sin when someone’s watching
On this black road with an empty plee
Even God himself has got a set of Devil’s teeth
Of the Devil’s teeth
Of the Devil’s teeth
Of the Devil’s teeth
On this black road

On this black road
