The Law and the Lonesome

With the wrath of the law and the lonesome above you
 And all those who love you behind
 The storm in your rear view, and darkness before you
 Where will you fly to this time?
 Only Jesus will go down the road that you're burning
 You should be turning to him.
 But how can you wait and be washed in the water
 When the river is dirty as sin?
 Well how can she take you and make you so lonely?
 Said she was only your friend.
 But any fool and his pride who has tried to refuse her
 Can see your using again
 It snows like a ghost of cocaine on the highway
 The shifty plays tricks on your mind
 The wind is like razors and in only 2 days
 You've done 200, 000 white lines
 You took the wrong way home
 You took the wrong way home
 Blasted the bedrock and laid all the black top
 Like a snake round the shoulders of God.
 But Christ on his hilltop and the cop at the truck stop
 They're both only doing their jobs.
 But you gone and double-crossed too many, now you lost
 The last friend that you had to lose
 Now he's in the ambulance, you're in the cruiser
 With a fatal case of the sucker-punch blues
 You took the wrong way home
 You took the wrong way home
 You took the wrong way home
 You took the wrong way home
 With the wrath of the law and lonesome above you
 And all those who love you behind.
