running' from the truth for all my life
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
no I'm too tired to tell more lies
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
I never lied to you and I never laid blame
it was my own fault for what I became
the flies on the ceiling and the dogs in the cane
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
noon as dark as midnight
the judge is down the road
now walk with me, just a little while
I'm too weak on my own, how long have I been this way
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
always said I'd trade the rest of my days
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
can't take you with me when I leave here
one more time I need you here
one more walk through the pines my dear
wake up darlin', wake up darlin'
noon as dark as midnight
the judge is down the road
now walk with me
just a little while
I'm just too weak on my own
