| Cottonmouth in another town
|
| I drank the river dry
|
| Travellin' with a broken crown
|
| A demon passin' by
|
| I watched the blackbirds takin' flight
|
| Ashes in the wind
|
| I disappeared into the night
|
| And felt my spirit bend
|
| I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good
|
| I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
|
| I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give
|
| I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
|
| I went and killed a man today
|
| I watched him disappear
|
| A broken hand sent him away
|
| He was standin' in the mirror
|
| I was born a wicked man
|
| Broken from the start
|
| Am I made of rusty tin?
|
| Did the Lord forget my heart?
|
| I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good
|
| I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
|
| I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give
|
| I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived
|
| Oh! |
| Straight and narrow’s twisted
|
| But the fact it still remains
|
| That line I walk is crooked
|
| But I walk it just the same
|
| I’d try to part your waters
|
| If I didn’t think I’d drown
|
| I’d finally take a stand
|
| If I wasn’t layin' down
|
| I’d scream right up to Heaven if I thought it’d do me good
|
| I’d wash my hands of sin if I really thought I could
|
| I’d speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give
|
| I’d lay right down and die if I had ever really lived |
