if i ever have a friend who knows my hell he’ll tie a safety rope to the backyard well so if i change my mind when i get down i’ll pull my body up before i drown & if i ever have a lover who finds my pain oh i will leave his ass in the fire & the rain because a man who knows & still he stays… …that ain’t no man who you’d want around & if i ever have a child & in her eyes i see the same kind of hurtin that i have in mine i’ll know the devil didn’t come once, he came twice.
