Call It A Night

about

Someone's in trouble for shaking the baby too hard. This town's gonna need a new sheriff.

lyrics

Here I am lonely and caught in the middle again
of two more cadaverous bodies that need burying.
One of these murders I have every right to claim -
but the blood from the other is still on my hands all the same.
Time after time I have foolishly fallen
in love with bad men who were dangerous and rotten.
My daughter, may her soul not soon be forgotten,
is why I will do what I’m going to do to you.

I’ve got my alibi set
and don’t you question it.
I’ve got my box of regrets
but these husbands don’t count for anything.
No they don’t.

I’ve learned to cover my tracks
so I don’t have to look back.
I got my peace of mind by taking mine
and I ain’t got no witnesses.
I made sure there were no witnesses.

Don’t you know you’ve seen the last of me?
I’m gonna carry on and flee to freedom.
I feel like I am on my way to somewhere, starting over,
I’ll grab my boots and get my gunna and call it a night.

Ain’t got no family left,
ain’t nothing tying me down.
I’ll be a face in the crowd
before you know it I just won’t be found.
Wait and see.

Ain’t got no time for romance
or sneaking out to go and dance.
I hope my sins are forgiven,
but if not I think I’ll be alright.
What will be will be.

Don’t you know you’ve seen the last of me?
I’m gonna carry on and flee to freedom.
I feel like I am on my way to somewhere, starting over,
I’ll grab my boots and get my gunna and call it a night.

Don’t you know you’ve seen the last of me?
I’m gonna carry on and flee to freedom.
I feel like I am on my way to somewhere, starting over,
I’ll grab my boots and get my gunna and call it a night.
