Heathens Lyrics - Decoration Day - Drive By Truckers

Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown 

If we get the van out of the ditch before morning ain't nobody got to know what I done 

And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun 

It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone. 

And I don't need to be forgiven by them people in the neighborhood 

When we first hooked up, you looked me in the eye 

And said "Paw, we just ain't no good" 

We were Heathens in their eyes at the time, I guess I am just a Heathen still 

And I never have repented from the wrongs that they say I have done 

I done what I feel. 

It was a difficult delivery, now it's growing up mean and strong 

When you tell me that it's getting a little bit tight, ain't the first time I been outgrown 

And I'm gonna push a little harder 

She ain't revved till the rods are thrown 

I'll walk away 

And I don't need to be forsaken by you or anybody else 

And I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself. 

Heathens.
