Snakes

Oh, my, my, what's in store?

I couldn't wait to get out that door

To move my feet, chase those dreams

A whole other world waiting to explore

But I had no wisdom

A perfect victim

And when I stopped to rest up along the way

I heard 'em hissing out my name

Coming up fast outta the rye

Thought I'd get away running for my life

But they'd been waiting

No escaping

Lemme tell you that I...

Shoulda listened to my mama when she told me

"There's danger on that road"

I thought I was a grown man but I...

Just wasn't strong to hold my own

Against the snakes in that grass

There's snakes in that grass

There's snakes in that grass

Lying in the dark I felt so strange

Hardly remembered my own name

I feel the marks from the fangs

And the venom in my veins

A light is shining

Am I dying?

I remember thinking...

This is gonna be my last breath

I'd better use it to pray

Heaven must've been listening

'Cause I'm still alive today

To tell you there's snakes in that grass

There's snakes in that grass

Snakes in that grass

And they're waiting in the grass

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I shoulda listened to my mama when she told me

"There's danger on that road"

'Cause there's snakes in the grass

Snakes in the grass

There's snakes in the grass

They're waiting in the grass

Told ya, they're in the grass

I told ya

They're waiting, waiting in the grass
