The Farmer and His Gun Lyrics
Spoken like a young man
Trying to get himself on the wheel.
My feet are forwards but I think I'm going backwards, I'm still
So far away from you.
I called my brothers on the phone
Just to say goodbye,
'Cause I don't need another reason not to survive on my own.
I'm moving on from here.
Then I realize
That I'll be on my own tonight.
Shadows fold out like
Blankets on the ground.
Run, run, rabbit,
Run.
Just don't get caught out by
The farmer and his gun.
Well, hide, hide, rabbit,
Hide.
It's best to lose yourself before you
Ever lose your pride.
Spoken like a true man
Trying to make his way through the fields.
My back is heavy and my heart is feeling empty, but still,
I'm so far away from you
There's no use complaining to myself --
I made these shoes to walk in,
And they'll walk until the end.
And then I realize
That I will dream of you tonight.
Shadows fold out like
Blankets on the ground.
Just never lose your pride.
Trying to get himself on the wheel.
My feet are forwards but I think I'm going backwards, I'm still
So far away from you.
Just to say goodbye,
'Cause I don't need another reason not to survive on my own.
I'm moving on from here.
That I'll be on my own tonight.
Shadows fold out like
Blankets on the ground.
Run.
Just don't get caught out by
The farmer and his gun.
Well, hide, hide, rabbit,
Hide.
It's best to lose yourself before you
Ever lose your pride.
Trying to make his way through the fields.
My back is heavy and my heart is feeling empty, but still,
I'm so far away from you
I made these shoes to walk in,
And they'll walk until the end.
That I will dream of you tonight.
Shadows fold out like
Blankets on the ground.
