Aoife O'Donovan - Hornets lyrics

There ain't nothin' left for me here I gotta get out Spent the better part of 29 years just tryin' to get out Got no one runnin' after me Pray these two feet carry me south Then, out of the corner of my eye You're lookin' at me I've got ... painted on my thigh You're weak in the knees Let's leave town by the frontage road Follow the sound of the blackest road south Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder? I'll be there to have and hold you We've only travelled 17 miles You wanna turn back Don't leave your little girl in the wild The sky's turnin' black Play tug-o-war til the mornin' comes Find the road Stick out your thumb Hold it there If no one comes, just run Got no one runnin' after me Pray these two feet carry me Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder? I'll be there to have and hold you My rations runnin' low and I'm alone when I hit the state line Turnin' back is the only way to go Back to what's mine I'll die in the bed that I was born in Gone from this world without warnin', babe Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder? I'll be there to have and hold you Would that you were gone away and I was gone with you I'd sit myself right down, and I'd lace up my travelin' shoes If I lose you down the road, would you look over your shoulder? I'll be there to have and hold you
