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
