Bible Song

No stranger in this town Nobody moves without making a sound You live and die within the borders and lines No one dies without paying their fines No lovers in this town The moon's full but it sure ain't round And just because you lie in his bed Don't mean he meant the things he said They marry young in these parts They work the factories So, I ran as fast as I could Through the tall gra*s and the midnight woods So, no one would sing some Bible song over me My cousin died in his sleep Forty pills, two kids to keep And how will she explain to those kids About the sorry thing daddy did They marry young in these parts They raise their kids and set them free So, I ran as fast as I could Through the tall gra*s and the midnight woods So, no one would sing some Bible song over me They buried him out in the cold He was only twenty-four years old How his mother came undone When the choir sang 'Hallelujah' So, I ran as fast as I could Through the tall gra*s and the midnight woods And I ran as fast as I could Through the tall gra*s and the midnight woods Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah ...
