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
