Dead Man's Isle
Dead Man’s Isle
Verse:
Well I've slept out on these streets before
And I've drowned myself in every bar
But not like I did with you
Now I've got one more night of tellin' lies
I hope they never televise
The things that I used to do
Verse:
And now I'm on the run again
For the dumbest thing that I ever did
And I don't know what I should do
You said "You can hardly see you won't get far"
So I let the dog drive the car
And hoped that I'd make it through... And I did but I might be...
Chorus:
Goin' away for awhile x 2
They might be shippin' me away to dead man's isle
And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial
I'll be goin' away for awhile
Verse:
I'm practiced up in stumblin' round
But that night really knocked me down
And now I don't know what to do
Now that that dog ran off and I can't blame him I gotta get gone outta this mess I'm in
Or I won't be going home too soon.. Oh no I might be..
Chorus:
Bridge:
Well I never shoulda let that dog drive
I never shoulda let him in
I never shoulda drank that last rye
I never shoulda drank that gin
Now I've got one more night stuck inside of a police station
And I don't think I'll see that dog again
I've got one more night of seeing stars
Till' they put my **** behind the bars
I guess they found out where I've been... And now...
Chorus:
I'm going away for awhile
I'm going away for awhile
I guess they're shippin' me away to dead man's isle
Now I've got one more night of telling lies
I hope they never televise
This one last night of crooked eyes
Let's light this city up tonight
Cause I am going away for awhile
