Darkness lyrics

DARKNESS ?‚ SPENCER BOHREN, 1986

Don`t let darkness catch you
At the edge of town.
`Cause the men around here,
They ain`t playing around.
Men around here,
They ain`t playing around.
You better get on home now
Before the sun goes down.

`Round here they shoot them easy
And they hang them high.
Stand around, watch them die.
Shoot them easy,
Lord, they hang them high.
Ain`t no tomorrow and no good-bye.

Mississippi River dark and wide.
Trying to get across
To the Arkansas side.
Mississippi River dark and wide.
I`m just trying to make it back,
Back to the Arkansas side.

When the sun comes up
I`ll be on that train.
I`m going back
Where they know my name.
Sun come up,
I`ll be on that blue, blue train.
I ain`t never going back
Across the river again.

Mississippi River dark and wide.
Trying to get across
To the Arkansas side.
Mississippi River dark and wide.
I`m just trying to make it back,
Back to the Arkansas side.
