You're stumbling through the door to your room You smell of liquor and a sweet perfume You're using words like hope and truth You pray someone will find you
When you go, honey, don't look back Throw on your coat, and light a cigarette When you go, don't bother to tip your cap It's your God-given right to be free
You've been lost in the halls of your heart You find peace between the cemetery walls And when you walk, you walk alone Praying no one will find you
When you go, honey, don't look back Throw on your coat, and light a cigarette When you go, don't bother to tip your cap It's your God-given right to be free
You can reap from the life you chose Bury your heart between the cracks on the road Watch it spring up when the ground is froze Buried is your soul
When you go, oh honey, don't look back Throw on your coat, and light a cigarette And when you go, don't bother to tip your cap It is your God-given right to be free
Yes, it's your God-given right to be free Yes, it's your God-given right
