Well its a slow drag down a burned out building
Baby don't you want to go
Somewhere east of Mississippi
Ain't nobody gonna know
Well that governor's wife was so dawg on pretty
Tell me what's a boy to do
Now its your life, son
You better leave that city ‘cause the word's out
She been getting down with you
You might find that straight and narrow way
But you got to Sidestep your grave
Well if you slow down then the devil gon' catch you
Son, you better move along
Somewhere east of Appalachia
Go ahead and grow your own
If you get burnt out on the blue gra**
Pull your plants up from the middle of the corn
Buy a flatbed on your straight cash
Buy a dead man's jacket from a second-hand store
You might find salvation some day
But you got to sidestep your grave
You might find salvation some day-
Oh repent my son and thou shall be saved-
