Oh, got my hands tied around my back
And time put a rope around my head
And hung from the rafters of my fear
Dark in the eyes
Try and face the world, I can't bear to
My knees hit the ground and my hands start shaking
Old feelings from new faces
A rope on the floor and a poor man hangingPlease help me chop this tree down
Or hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me
OhI've seen an ocean run away
I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul
I'm down in the grave where I belong
Oh, what a ride
Identified my devil
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
With my own hands, no shovel
I dug through the ground, now I'm hanging above sayingPlease help me chop this tree down
Or hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for meDown by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved (when the sun went down)
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved (it set the sky on fire)
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved (I saw an angel fly)
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved (I never felt so high)
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm savedPlease help me chop this tree down
Or hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me
Oh, don't you cry for me
Oh, don't you cry for me
