Lay my body down
|
By the shallows of the creek
|
You can lay my body down
|
Lay me in your reach
|
|
And when my body's down
|
We'll steal the thunder from the rain
|
And when my body's down
|
We'll shake the dirt right from the pain
|
|
I was going nowhere
|
Nowhere very fast
|
Threw my poison out the window
|
But it came blowin' back
|
|
Out along the highway
|
Right through the night of crime
|
Somewhere in the darkness
|
Your hope shined
|
|
Whisper wisdom's words
|
You can whisper wisdom's lies
|
But all of wisdom's words
|
Never helped me to survive
|
|
Days of all my arrogance
|
When you were not afraid
|
Threw my paycheck out the window
|
You threw it all away
|
|
Walked the devil's highway
|
Across the county line
|
Somewhere in the darkness
|
Your hope shined
|
|
Your hope shined, your hope shined X2
|
Walked the devil's highway, across the county line
|
But your hope shined, your hope shined
|
First light in the mornin', right through the night of crime
|
Your hope shined, your hope shined
|
|
Lay my body down
|
By the shallows of the creek
|
