Death & Taxes

Middle of the night
Got your head in your hands
Middle of the road
Moonlight and beer cans
Can see it like a movie in my mind
And you make the same mistake every time
Did you see in his eyes when he offered you that ride?
Did you it wrong down inside?
Did you close your eyes and shut out the pain?
When he took you down that river
I want you to stay, stay away
Dont go down that green river today
Stay away
Dont go down that green river
Midnight, shadows and red eyes
Blood turns black in the moonlight
Still see your face its burned in my mind
Youre twenty-one forever
I want you to stay, stay away
Dont go down that green river today
Stay away
Dont go down that green river
When you feel those arms around you
They wont be mine
With the darkness all around you
They wont be mine
Well he took you, raper you and left you
There for all to see
Stripped of all your dignity
Middle of the night
Got my head in my hands
Id wish youd stay
I wish youd stay, stay away
Dont go down that green river today
Stay away
Dont go down that green river
Stay away
Dont go down that green river today
Stay away
Dont go down that green river
