lyrics

Sitting Still

When I woke up after years to find I was really someone else
More and more like my folks but ain’t nothing can be done

Playing the part has brought me tears and so far from myself
But sitting will get me killed cause I’m born to run

I’ve got a warrant down in Deckers where a man died at my hands
I’ve tried laying low till the dust will settle out
But i’ve been haunted by a sheriff wearing black with seven hands
And i’ll keep moving till my time has all run out

It’s gonna get you if you’re ready or not at the end of your line
No one knows when but it’s coming for you, so you’ll be right on time
Whether a woman or a fever or the devil himself,
It leaves you bow legged and blind
So i’ll keep running it out so I’m not sitting still waiting to die

This bed has my back aching so I’m up early anyway
And the nightmares are the barrel of a gun

A cup of dark will heal my heavy head from all of last night’s rage
But sitting still will get me killed cause I’m born to run

I left her down in Tres Piedras with a kid from my best friend
I’ve tried laying low till the dust would settle out
I’ve been haunted by their faces and I know that I’ll never win
So I keep moving till my time has all run out

It’s gonna get you if you’re ready or not at the end of your line
No one knows when but it’s coming for you, so you’ll be right on time
Whether a woman or a fever or the devil himself,
It leaves you bow legged and blind
So i’ll keep running it out so I’m not sitting still waiting to die
