lyrics
God Watch My Back
He came from Carson City
With a thirst for a new life
He was walking down the highway
I was driving by
But I'm so damn careless
I fell into his lonely eyes
Till his arms were my horizon
His promises stretched for miles
And I fell in love good
And I fell in love hard
But now I need to run
And I need to run far
God watch my back
Cover my tracks
I need your help
To help myself
I did what I done
Cuz his love was killing me
He said I was his river
I made sure that he was right
He drank my kisses in the morning
Swam rolling currents every night
But I didn't give up
I didn't leave his side
Till he'd gotten every drop
Even the tears in my eyes
God watch my back...
The rain poured down. covered the sounds
No one could hear the pain and fear
The first time I knelt. T he next time I prayed
The last time he struck I walked away
God watch my back
Cover my tracks
I need your help
To help myself
I did what I done
Bless my gun
Cuz his love was killing me
He came from Carson City
With a thirst for a new life
He was walking down the highway
I was driving by
But I'm so damn careless
I fell into his lonely eyes
Till his arms were my horizon
His promises stretched for miles
And I fell in love good
And I fell in love hard
But now I need to run
And I need to run far
God watch my back
Cover my tracks
I need your help
To help myself
I did what I done
Cuz his love was killing me
He said I was his river
I made sure that he was right
He drank my kisses in the morning
Swam rolling currents every night
But I didn't give up
I didn't leave his side
Till he'd gotten every drop
Even the tears in my eyes
God watch my back...
The rain poured down. covered the sounds
No one could hear the pain and fear
The first time I knelt. T he next time I prayed
The last time he struck I walked away
God watch my back
Cover my tracks
I need your help
To help myself
I did what I done
Bless my gun
Cuz his love was killing me
