I'll be ready when the moment comes Only waited for the marching drums I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running It's a one way street with an open end And you never know what lies ahead But I always knew that this was it The signs were

On the other side nothing but brown grass Now I find myself rolling 'round on brown grass Now I find myself falling down on brown grass Now I'm open wide To the truth I left behind Her loves so hard to find Why didn't I know that she was a essential part

Case open, case shut Isn't it tragic? But you could pay to close it like a casket The D.A. is dressed to the nines In the mirror he practices all his lines To his closing argument twelve hearts beat in favor I'm guessing that he read the morning paper

Through the middle of the night unknown And I'll ride The sun has opened up my eyes And I don't want to leave your side For that lonesome road But here I go Climbing back behind the wheel of 50 feet of chrome and steel and a load They need in Chicago

I don't even know if I believe Everything you're trying to say to me So open up my eyes Tell me I'm alive This is never gonna go our way If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind You may call it in this evening But you've only lost the night Present

They have a hunting season on the rabbit If you shoot him, boy, you go to jail But the season is always open on men Don't nobody need no bail Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi where I come from Down in Mississippi where I belong

My eyes fall open on you It's like my dreams keep goin' on and on and on, it don't Matter what we're doin' As long as I'm with you, and I can't imagine anything I couldn't love you through the bad days There's gonna be mistakes But, baby, I'm here to stay

Yeah, there ain't much of nothin' in me Left to be saved, but, baby, I bet If you could love somebody like me Hope for me yet Girl, I've made a name everybody writes off An open-road, hard case; a honky tonk, lost cause The fate I'm lookin' at, there

My eyes fall open on you It's like my dreams keep goin' on and on and on, it don't Matter what we're doin' As long as I'm with you, and I can't imagine anything I couldn't love you through the bad days There's gonna be mistakes But, baby, I'm here to stay

What did you do to my eyes You better slow down baby soon It's all or nothing to you What did you sing to that lonely child Promised it all but you lied Oh, the devil's inside You opened the door You gave him a ride Too young to know, too old to admit
