I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folks there

Now I don't know where I'm going

All I know is I'll hit the ground running





Only cowboys

The Southern gentlemen

Betting women

That will Never mend

They ride the roads as they bend

As they bend to there dead ends





I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folks there

And now I don't know where I'm going

All i know is that I'll hit the ground running





I was raised in a pit of snakes

Blink your eyes I was raised on cakes

I couldn't memorize a century of slang

Or learn to tell the same story again again and again





I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folks there

Now I don't know where I'm going

All I know is I'll hit the ground running





Bitterness is a lowest sin

A bitter man rots from within

I've seen his smile

Yellow and brown

The bitterness is rotting down





I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folks there

Now I don't know where I'm going

All I know to do is hit the ground running





Hit the ground running
