I remember when I saw the sea freeze |
|
But it said nothing of the birds and the bees |
|
That were swarming around my head |
|
Singing You'd be better off dead |
|
|
|
But I ain't going down like that |
|
No I ain't going down like that |
|
|
|
Because I'm better than him |
|
And I know where I've been |
|
And I know where I'm comin' from |
|
A lie is a sin, but don't we all sin |
|
That is the truth, and the truth is grim |
|
Now he's in jail and his story is for sale |
|
The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail |
|
It points to the West and leaves out the rest |
|
And invites you to be his special guest |
|
|
|
I remember when I saw the leaves fall |
|
I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball |
|
Into the ditch I fly wanted dead or alive |
|
|
|
But I ain't going down like that |
|
No I ain't going down like that |
