I've been hiding in these hills For a long, long time Among the sun and the rocks and the wind A lot time to do me some thinkin' About how all this got started About where ya' going...and where ya' been CHORUS: You might think I'd let 'em Put the shackles on my hands But the ghosts that I run with Honey, they got other plans My get-away was fantastic And my heart was all a-raptured Shook off all their dogs I eluded every capture When my parachute it opened wide I still see blue sky in my dreams
Now it's mysteries left unsolved On your TV No, it ain't how mama raised me And it ain't what daddy did It ain't what the preacher Taught me at all; So, it coulda been the d** It coulda been religion Coulda been the voices That made me feel small Now, here's what happens to you When you commit the perfect crime When I say what's yours is mine And it all gets tragic Here's what happens to you When you come face to face Ya' disappear without a trace... Without a trace
