NO STRANGERS
IN THIS TOWN
NOBODY MOVES
WITHOUT MAKIN' A SOUND
YOU LIVE AND DIE
WITHIN THE BORDERS
AND LINES
NO ONE DIES
WITHOUT PAYIN'
THEIR FINES
NO LOVERS IN THIS TOWN
THE MOON'S FULL
BUT IT SURE AIN'T ROUND
AND JUST BECAUSE
YOU LIE IN HIS BED
DON'T MEAN HE MEANT
THE THINGS HE SAID
THEY MARRY YOUNG
IN THESE PARTS
THEY WORK
THE FACTORIES
SO I RAN
AS FAST AS I COULD
THROUGH THE
TALL GRASS AND
THE MIDNIGHT WOODS
SO NO ONE WOULD SING
SOME BIBLE SONG
OVER ME
MY COUSIN
DIED IN HIS SLEEP
FORTY PILLS
TWO KIDS TO KEEP
HOW WILL SHE
EXPLAIN TO THOSE KIDS
ABOUT THE SORRY THING
DADDY DID
THEY MARRY YOUNG
IN THESE PARTS
THEY RAISE THEIR KIDS
AND SET THEM FREE
SO I RAN
AS FAST AS I COULD
THROUGH THE
TALL GRASS AND
THE MIDNIGHT WOODS
SO NO ONE WOULD SING
SOME BIBLE SONG
OVER ME
THEY BURIED HIM
OUT IN THE COLD
HE WAS ONLY
TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD
AND HOW HIS MOTHER
CAME UNDONE
WHEN THE CHOIR SANG
HALLELUJAH
SO I RAN
AS FAST AS I COULD
THROUGH THE
TALL GRASS AND
THE MIDNIGHT WOODS
YEAH I RAN
AS FAST AS I COULD
THROUGH THE
TALL GRASS AND
THE MIDNIGHT WOODS
