It’s that velvet horned buck
Telling me to measure up
He locks my eyes
And I know just what I’m here for.
Love be swift love be kind
While you’re making up your mind
Yeah I know I don’t deserve it
But I need something to spell me
It’s Friday night everything’s shut down
Cause everyone around here is broke and
tired
Steam is rising from an August storm
It’s like I just got born
So life be honest life be free
While you’re pouring out of me
Or swelling up
Cause I know that I get greedy
And I know this creek is gonna rise
And sometimes it will run dry
Yeah please don’t let me waste it
But please don’t let me drown
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay
Give me a dog that don’t run away
Give me a love that don’t fade
Oh let me walk in decency
d**h be gentle d**h be proud
But most of all just be allowed
Oh let me pull the knife
Across for mercy’s sake now
And if I just don’t have the guts
Will you come and prop me up
Yeah I know what’s right
Oh but I just can’t seem to do it
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay
Give me a dog that don’t run away
Give me a love that don’t fade
Oh let me walk in decency
