Dr. Dog - I Know lyrics

[Verse 1] When you're all timed out And your sand's been tested Through the hands of the hourgla** When your head whipped the belt And the birds stopped singing Knocked out flat on your a** When you're laid out to pasture And the field's are grown barren Was there greener than your own gra**? When push comes to shove And shove comes to blows And the maker is mad at last [Chorus] There's one thing I know that I never been told 'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say Well, you stand by the life that's only your own Will you turn and run away? [Verse 2] When you're all dried up And you take your bottom dollar To the well and you give it away When you stall on empty And you burn the last gas At the end of the fairest way When you're caught in the track And you stare down the barrel What will you have to say? When push comes to shove And shove comes to blows And you fall on judgement day [Chorus] There's one thing I know that I've never been told 'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say Well, you stand by the life that's only your own Will you turn and run away? [Instrumental Outro]
