Don¡¯t want no high rise tombstone
|
Gonna gather up my things
|
Don¡¯t wanna hear you fussin¡¯
|
If it is, or if it ain¡¯t
|
If it is, or if it ain¡¯t
|
And my life needs no witness
|
And my burden is my own
|
My burden is my own
|
|
I¡¯m in, I¡¯m out, and I¡¯m gone
|
|
You gotta answer to somebody
|
You gotta answer to somebody
|
If you didn¡¯t learn, then you didn¡¯t read
|
Gonna live with it, gotta live with it, yeah
|
What¡¯s a man to do, what¡¯s a man to do
|
Gotta answer to somebody
|
Answer to somebody
|
Gotta answer, answer, yeah
|
|
And I¡¯m in, I¡¯m out, and I¡¯m gone
|
|
The death row preacher
|
Came through the back door to greet her
|
Hardly can blame her
|
For trusting a one-armed lion-tamer
|
|
She stepped in from a storm
|
As dry as a bone
|
The preacher thought to himself
|
He never takes care of his own
|
|
She said ¡°look what your prayers
|
Look what they¡¯ve done to me
|
What can your prayers do for me?¡±
|
|
Preacher said, careful talking to yourself
|
¡®Cause you may be listening
|
Careful talking to yourself
|
¡®Cause you may be listening
|
|
I¡¯m in, I¡¯m out, and I¡¯m gone
|
