Don’t Drag the River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a place on the wrong side of town It's a curse whenever I go And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head Let me down, I want you to know Now, I don't know ya, but you are my jailer I've been sentenced by the jury below Now, it scares me to death and I just cannot let This cage that they put over me [Chorus] (Don't drag the river) I hear the voices on the ground (Don't drag the river) I go to sleep without a sound [Verse 2] Can you turn out the daylight? I'll be gone in the morning Can you try to burn down the sun? I gotta make you believe that I did not deceive No, I did not hurt anyone You can make me a slave, you can make me a number But I'm not the one who lied 'Cause they threw away the key and I just cannot be In this cage that they put over me [Chorus] (Don't drag the river) I hear the voices on the ground (Don't drag the river) And I go to sleep without a sound [Bridge] I'm in a state of madness, I panic in my head They're gonna pull me under no matter what I said I taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin', it's gonna take me down [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Taste the fear inside me, I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin', take me down I hear the voices on the ground I go to sleep without a sound [Chorus] (River) I hear the voices on the ground (Don't drag the river) I go to sleep without a sound (Don't drag the river) I hear the voices (Don't drag the river) I go to sleep without a sound [Outro] Don't drag the river Don't drag the river Don't drag the river There's only my love for you Don't drag the river There's only my heart for you Don't drag the river There's only my love for you Oh, river's waiting
