Anyway, Rattlesnake

Rattlesnake take my hand, wake me up, lead me back*
I don’t believe you’re all that bad anyway.
My old man don’t care about me, he’s got a cold heart
And I wanna set it free but it’s not my job, but it’s not easy
So I guess it’s time to just let it be anyway
Don’t forget where you come from and don’t let it get in your way
The rattlesnake’s gonna get someone but it won’t get me,
Cause I got my gun, and I got my heart and I’m going home today
So please forget the things I said, I was dark in the heart, and deep
In my head but I want you to know that I loved you the best anyway
I might pray to keep me safe, draw me a map in the water and clay
I don’t believe in the things they say at all
And the rattlesnake may take my soul but that’s the risk that I’ve
Come to know when you love something you can’t control at all
Don’t forget where you come from and don’t let it get in your way
The rattlesnake’s gonna get someone but it won’t get me,
cause I got my gun, and I got my heart and I’m going home today
So please forget the things I said, I was dark in the heart, and deep
in my head but I want you to know that I loved you the best anyway
