Hit and Run

[Verse 1] Your father's a drunk, best do what you've been told, son Put your bottles down and run Don't stop 'til you can't hear mama crying [Chorus] Do as I mumble, not as I stumble Or you'll find yourself kidney deep in my kind of trouble It was a hit-and-run And I got away, but I have to live each day With what I've done [Verse 2] Your father was a son once Of a bum and a gun and I'm sorry A curse I couldn't outrun [Bridge] Well, it's in your blood And it's in your bones It's in every indiscretion That your future holds [Chorus] Do as I mumble, not as I stumble Or you'll find yourself kidney deep in my kind of trouble It was a hit-and-run And I got away, but the damage is done It was a hit-and-run And I got away, but I have to live each day [Outro] I'd rather be dead Please, Lord Take me instead
