Hornets

There ain't nothin' left for me here

I gotta get out

Spent the better part of 29 years just tryin' to get out

Got no one runnin' after me

Pray these two feet carry me south

Then, out of the corner of my eye

You're lookin' at me

I've got ... painted on my thigh

You're weak in the knees

Let's leave town by the frontage road

Follow the sound of the blackest road south

Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you

I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes

If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?

I'll be there to have and hold you

We've only travelled 17 miles

You wanna turn back

Don't leave your little girl in the wild

The sky's turnin' black

Play tug-o-war til the mornin' comes

Find the road

Stick out your thumb

Hold it there

If no one comes, just run

Got no one runnin' after me

Pray these two feet carry me

Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you

I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes

If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?

I'll be there to have and hold you

My rations runnin' low and I'm alone when I hit the state line

Turnin' back is the only way to go

Back to what's mine

I'll die in the bed that I was born in

Gone from this world without warnin', babe

Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you

I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes

If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?

I'll be there to have and hold you

Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you

I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes

If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder?

I'll be there to have and hold you
