Dead - Before They Take You lyrics

Raised up at the crack of dawn Down to copy strides of a lucky one Went down into the morning sun Continued our life on the run And we ride into the sunset and burn our eyes Sugar love, it’s no surprise That I fell so hard When you emptied your six-shooter in my heart We give and take chances, we should know better We’re getting beaten down by the dark and the weather As a thousand eyes get closer still I’ll die before I let them touch you, you know I will Oh I will, girl you know I will Girl you know, girl you know Home is a place that I rarely know And I know that I swore I’d never go But the burden of the city shines on me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) How could I have guessed what would become of all The things that I have done, these last few years Have moved so fast for me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) Another night underneath these moonlit stars A sip of whiskey is sure to help pa** the time We spend talking about our hometowns And the people we used to be So tell me what we gain from living like this It doesn’t take a wordsmith to f**ing write this I will always be hopeful to fall into The pages aren’t What I made, what I made What I made, what I made Home is a place that I rarely know And I know that I swore I’d never go The burden of the city shines on me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) How could I have guessed what would become of all The things that I have done, these last few years Have moved so fast for me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) A drink for two in the saloon Our eyes meet from across the room And he catches us with his stare He catches us with his stare He walks across the floor Our eyes divert to the door And we run as fast as our feet will take us We’ll run into the street With that sweaty office man Girl, I’ll take this shot for you, oh Because girl, I’ll take this shot for you Girl, I’ll take this shot for you Girl, I’ll take this shot Girl, I’ll take this shot (Hey! Hey! Hey!) ‘Cause home is a place that I rarely know And I know that I swore I’d never go But the burden of the city shines on me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) How could I have guessed what would become of all The things that I have done, these last few years Have moved so fast for me (Hey! Hey! Hey!) They’re never gonna catch us now But now we’re gonna starve until we’re f**ing dead And after all that we’ve been through I’ll still take this shot for you I’ll always be there This ain’t how it ends
