I Know

[Verse 1]

When you're all timed out

And your sand's been tested

Through the hands of the hourglass

When you're hit with the bell(?)

And the birds stopped singing

Knocked out flat on your ass

When you're laid out to pasture

And the field's are grown barren

Was there greener than your own grass?

When push comes to shove

And shove comes to blows

And the maker is met at last

[Chorus]

There's one thing I know that I never been told

'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say

Will you stand by the life that's only your own?

Will you turn and run away?

[Verse 2]

When you're all dried up

And you take your bottom dollar

To the well and you give it away

When you stall on empty

And you burn the last gas

At the end of the fairest way

When you're caught in the track

And you stare down the barrel

What will you have to say?

When push comes to shove

And shove comes to blows

And you fall on judgement day

[Chorus]

There's one thing I know that I've never been told

'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say

Will you stand by the life that's only your own?

Will you turn and run away?
