Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Hangman,
You go get your rope
Your daughters weren't careful
And I fear that I am a slippery slope
Now even when I lay my head down at night
After a day I got perfectly right… She won’t know
She won’t know
So pray little Kay, love is just God on a good day
And you can't blame your mother
She’s trying not to see you as her worst mistake
And I wish that I could tell you right now
But it looks like I won't be around
So you won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
So believe in me, believe in me, believe in me,
Believe, if you think I’ll let you down
Well I won’t
They can fire everything they've got
And when you think I’m sunk
I will float on and on
I have burned the bush that covered my light
Even though I’m scared I won't burn that bright
But you won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
We’re never gonna feel as full as we felt
So let's go outside and we'll play "William Tell"
Take your time drawing your bead
I’ll stand as still as you need
You’re so good at talking smack, you heart attack
But you're the apple of my eye anyway
My smiling face
That’s on my head
That’s on your silver plate
You go get your rope
Your daughters weren't careful
And I fear that I am a slippery slope
Now even when I lay my head down at night
After a day I got perfectly right… She won’t know
She won’t know
So pray little Kay, love is just God on a good day
And you can't blame your mother
She’s trying not to see you as her worst mistake
And I wish that I could tell you right now
But it looks like I won't be around
So you won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
You won’t know
So believe in me, believe in me, believe in me,
Believe, if you think I’ll let you down
Well I won’t
They can fire everything they've got
And when you think I’m sunk
I will float on and on
I have burned the bush that covered my light
Even though I’m scared I won't burn that bright
