I tend to take to higher ground, get up hills and watch the going ons just to state the world still flat and not round. I know all these roads but I can't go down

Cause I don't want no trouble with that gashouse gang, cause they got blades stick-shooters and chains and I've heard that they've been passing my name behind the tin shack by the stockyard gates. So I'll stand before the lightning tonight

You take a step out and you pay with blood that's your own cause such is the law in this one horse town. Cast no shadow just take a bow, don't lay no bets don't never turn no deal down

If you don't want no trouble with that gashouse gang cause they got blades stick-shooters and chains and I've heard that they've been passing your name, behind the tinshack by the stockyard gates, so stand before the lightning tonight

I am a homegrown son spun off. I am a car crash on an icy road. I am the nighttime where all highs are lows. I am the night stop's steady glow,

and I don't want no trouble with that gashouse gang, cause they got blades stick-shooters and chains and I've heard that they've been passing my name behind the tin shack by the stockyard gates. So I'll stand before the lightning tonight
