And when someone comes in
Saying "anyone here sinned?"
I stand up
And when someone says "well
All y'all people bound for hell"
I stand up
And when someone asks
"anybody here a man?"
I stand up
When someone comes along
Saying "won't you sing a song?"
I stand up
Someone grab a cane wrap around my throat
Someone got some tape put it on my mouth
Later in the rain with my winter coat
Sit down
Feeling like the breeze blow around my back
Normally the ice woulda melt by now
Sit down
Look what i can find with my treasure map
Digging in the dirt: "look at what i found"
Leader "never mind" saying "give me that"
Sit down
Fleeing through the trees til my legs don't stand
Poking at my knees saying "what i done"
Sit down
