Rattlesnake, take my hand
Wake me up, lean me back
I don't believe you're all that bad anyway
My old man don't care about me
He's got a cold heart and I wanna set it free
But it's not my job and it's not easy
So I guess it's time to just let it be anyway
But don't forget where you come from
And don't let it get in your way
The rattlesnake's gonna get someone
But it won't get me
'Cause I got my gun and I got my heart
And I'm going home today
So please forget the things I said
I was dark in the heart and deep in my head
But I want you to know that I loved you the best anyway
And I might pray to keep me safe
Draw me a map in the water and play
I don't believe in the things they say at all
So the rattlesnake may take my soul
But that's the risk that I've come to know
When you love something you can't control at all
Don't forget where you come from
And don't let it get in your way
The rattlesnake's gonna get someone
But it won't get me
'Cause I got my gun and I got my heart
And I'm going home today
So please forget the things I said
I was dark in the heart and deep in my head
But I want you to know that I loved you the best
I want you to know I loved you the best
I want you to know I loved you the best anyway
Rattlesnake
