Down by the railroad track where the river bed's always dry
I lost my Bobby Sue one day when the river ran high.
Bobby couldn't swim Lord, no she couldn't swim
Weren't the river killed her Lord was the snake that did her in
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Wide-eyed and childlike, along the riverbed’s closest side
On her knees among the reeds looking for a place to hide
Raised her best I can lord, raised her best I can
Weren't the river killed her Lord was a fork-tongued lying man
And I cried
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on
Old black rattler on the river go’on. Old black rattler on the river go’on

From the mouths of babes
To the hands of slaves
I am bound by the innocent ways of the brave
I ain’t never been here
I know it's the fear
That keeps me locked in this cage
Four centuries of old piles of gold
Try to break free from this rotten mold
My Father has made me
My brother’s betrayed me
My story just waits to be told
I am what I am and I ain’t ever gonna change my ways
I am what I am and I am not doing it for your praise
I can’t admit that I’m dying to touch your face
I can’t admit that I’m dying to touch your face
I can’t admit that you’ve been my saving graaaaaace
My saving grace
From the perils of war to the peace of the land
I have learned to adore the heart and the hand
I said it before, I’ll say it once more
Courage lies in the heart of man
Four centuries of old piles of gold
I try to break free from this rotten mold
My Father has made me
My brother’s betrayed me
My story just waits to be told
I am what I am and I ain’t ever gonna change my ways
I am what I am and I am not doing it for your praise
I can’t admit that I’m dying to touch your face
I can’t admit that I’m dying to touch your face
I can’t admit that you’ve been my saving graaaaaace
My saving grace

This Fire in Me

There’s a fire in my belly
and I can’t bare to drink
you put this fire in me
you put this fire in me
There’s a block in my brain
and I can’t bare to think
you cut this wire in me
you cut this wire in me
you came in while I slept
and crept out before dawn
you lay your fevered head
inside my aching palms
you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me…
and then you were gone
There’s a poison in my veins
and I can’t bare to eat
you put this virus in me
you put this virus in me
There’s a fire in my lungs
and I can’t bare to breath
you put this fire in me
you put this fire in me
you came in while I slept
and crept out before dawn
you lay your fevered head
inside my aching palms
you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me…
and then you were gone
And then you were and then you were gone
And then you were and then you were and then you were gone
And then you were and then you were and then you were gone
And then you were and then you were and then you were gone
you came in while I slept
and crept out before dawn
you lay your fevered head
inside my aching palms
you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me, you put this fire in me…
and then you were gone

You think you got it so bad
you think you got it so rough
you think the world owes you and what you’ve got is not enough
You left it all behind
everything you’ve got
I hope it makes you happy being somebody that you’re not
I hope the world gives you what you think that you deserve
I hope someone can love the way you think that you love her
You’ve thrown it all away
all the good you had
you took the good and twisted it until it all turned bad
Why’d you turn to her?
You could have turned to us
We knew that you were hurting and we gave you all our trust
I hope the world gives you what you think that you deserve
I hope someone can love the way you think that you love her
You’ve thrown it all away (x4)
You know she’ll leave you one day
You know she’ll leave you alone
You know she’ll make you wish you had the things that you had known
But all the things that you loved
And all the things that you knew
Will all be strangers to you since your love had gone askew
I hope the world gives you what you think that you deserve
I hope someone can love the way that you think you love her
I hope that you can see yourself for what you really are
I hope someone can love you after she has left her scars
You think you’ve got it so bad
You think you’ve got it so rough
You think the world owes you and what you’ve got is not enough

All the Heavens Fell
05:13

Street lights fade behind me dark skies up above
pictures to remind me of your dying love
Seven streets to leave you Seven seas to drown
all those who believe you, who’s the liar now?
You can’t leave me lonely, I always felt alone.
You can’t be the only one to bring me home
You can’t take my life blood; There’s nothing left to give
You can break my life-line; there’s no life left to live
You can’t be a martyr
In this living hell
You can’t be the reason all the heavens fell
All the heavens fell
We’ll go past the border, where mountains meet the sea
We’ll leave this life together, where no one else can see
I’ll race you to the finish, where racing hearts stop
I’ll take you to the water and fill your clothes with rocks
You can’t be a martyr
In this living hell
You can’t be the reason all the heavens fell
All the heavens fell
You can’t see me, You can’t free me,
You can’t beat me, You can’t defeat me
You can’t be a martyr
In this living hell
You can’t be the reason
All the heavens fell
All the heavens fell
All the heavens fell
