Laid Down My Arms

(专辑： Don't Get Dark - 2019)

Where you been of lately?
'Cause I'm missing your cheeks
The ones upon your face, babe
And the ones above your knees
You could be a meal now
Leave nothing but your ribs
Or I could settle you a new town
In the mountains where you lived when you were just a kid
And I swear

I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah, I laid down my arms on the day you came along

"How can I be helpful?"
Said the lady on the phone
"Oh, and ain't the weather dreadful? It's all a plan to keep us alone."
Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me
So that I know I'm awake
And what does "teach your man to fish" mean?
It's to survive another day
I'll hold you if you hold you
Self-respect, I pay it back
And tell your old boy that's the old you
So he don't come around here thinking that he'll get you back
'Cause he won't, though

I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah, I laid down my arms on the day you came along

I spent my whole life fighting fear after fear
Yeah, all my days, all my days
I'd do them over and over and over and over again
I've been right here before I've made up my mind
Yeah, all my days, all my days
I'd do them over and over and over and over and

I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah, I laid down my arms on the day you came along

Where you been of lately?
'Cause I'm missing your cheeks
