16 Horsepower

Don't let your mind do all your walking
Boy you'll stumble every time
That road i seen the devil stalking
Dealin' only with the dyin'


G'on let the door hitem
Where my hound dog shoulda bittem
Leave him open, leave em there
I don't care


But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me


Then he showed me how he caught ya
Like a fish upon the line
Slow reelin' in he brings you closer
Like a poison that takes its time


Roll over little lady
Back and forth and twice around
You're gonna bleed to get away
There ain't no other way round


But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me


Hey, hey little baby
There, there little boy
Where, where little angel
Over here my joy


Hey, hey little baby
There, there little girl
Where, where little angel
Over here my pearl


But baby don't look down
Keep your, keep your arms around me

I see the world through the eyes of an idiot
Talkin' big white trash (?)
Before the girls an' boys inside of my soul
They take my path (?)
In the mirror there i see my father's face in glass
I know i am not anyone yet too afraid to ask


I will pawn you my watch
Pawn you my chain
Pawn you my new diamond ring
Pawn you my watch
Pawn you my chain
Pawn you yeah most anything


Get your clogs on the floor
Step up step up step up an' do more


Hey little girl is your door still open
The devil still inside
Seen your face he left the place
Took everything inside
Hey by the way i forgot to mention
I let it just slip out
Today is the day of salvation
An' ain't gonna tell no lie


Some through the water
Some through the flood
Some by the fire
But all through his blood
Some through the water
Some through the flood
Some by the bullet
But all through his blood

Just as sure as that suns gonna shine
When he comes at his table i will dine


Just as sure as that dog's gonna whine
In my heart no longer will i pine


Just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an an angel blow his horn
An down come jesus lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl she is mine....
An i say


Hey hey hey it's always forever
Hey hey hey it's never or now


I dug a hole an hollowed it out
Yes an i fell in
Oh lord i'm caught in the cord....
The cord of my own sin


Shoot 'em up cowboy - yeah i got away,
But i been dragin' this chain the whole way.....
An i say


Hey hey hey it's always forever
Hey hey hey it's never or now


Oh yea boys i know an i am certain
In your heart of heart ye all are hurtin'
Oh no no no not that name not to me
It's much too hard to get down on my knees
But just as sure as by evil you are torn
The sky will open up an an angel blow his horn
An down come jesus lookin' so fine
Just as sure as that girl she is mine.....
I say.....
