Lay my body down
By the shallows of the creek
You can lay my body down
Lay me in your reach
And when my body`s down
We`ll steal the thunder from the rain
And when my body`s down
We`ll shake the dirt right from the pain
I was going nowhere
Nowhere very fast
Threw my poison out the window
But it came blowin` back
Out along the highway
Right through the night of crime
Somewhere in the darkness
Your hope shined
Whisper wisdom`s words
You can whisper wisdom`s lies
But all of wisdom`s words
Never helped me to survive
Days of all my arrogance
When you were not afraid
Threw my paycheck out the window
You threw it all away
Walked the devil`s highway
Across the county line
Somewhere in the darkness
Your hope shined
Your hope shined, your hope shined X2
Walked the devil`s highway, across the county line
But your hope shined, your hope shined
First light in the mornin`, right through the night of crime
Your hope shined, your hope shined
Lay my body down
By the shallows of the creek
