I felt like I was made of stone Bone dry from bleeding, every time I through of leaving My voice was taken from my mouth Then you came through the rain and to my door The streets were abandoned, soaked through where you were standing And the water was flooding the ground So don't call my name if you can't bear the weight It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight So don't confuse me with somebody else Who might cower or cry out, cheat, steal from you, or lie about What my intentions might be Well we might be a couple of jerks Who took leave of our senses, set fire to our defenses And laid our hearts on the tracks Please don't call my name if you can't bear the weight It's been a long road to feelin' alright but I get there one step at a time They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight So lay your ears to the ground Can't you hear that train coming, ain't no use in running It's bound to roll you down Don't call my name if you can't bear the weight It's been a long road to feeling alright but I get there one step at a time They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight They will string you up, baby, wherever you are just as long as the ropes are tight
