In The Ground

If you find some strange woman

You must be careful 'bout what gets done

The key to coverin' tracks

Lock up the source and head on back

You gotta love 'em

And leave 'em in the ground

A buried secret

What's lost cannot be found

Well, I'm sorry 'bout the shallow grave

But you're no longer that which I crave

Now you won't wag your tongue

And talk about the things I've done

I had to love you

And leave you in the ground

You won't say nothin'

You won't make a sound

Crucifixion is an addiction

At least I call it one

Tie me off, shoot me up

With that old time religion

Well, I guess that I feel bad

You felt the blade and then collapsed

The finest I ever had

I guess I loved you to death

You gotta love 'em

And leave 'em in the ground

A buried secret

What's lost cannot be found

Now, will God forgive your sins

Dispatched so early to live with Him?

I guess that I will never know

Pick up my shovel and off I go

I had to love you

And leave you in the ground

You won't say nothin'

You won't make a sound

Crucifixion is an addiction

At least I call it one

Tie me off, shoot me up

With that old time religion
