They've found me out! I have to leave, there's no time left to say goodbye. Don't worry dear, I'll be back soon, no need to cry. They've found me out! And when I drove away and saw her in that dress, I thought my heart would break as it pounded in my chest. I headed for the hills and there I ditched the truck, And searched the ridge hoping that I would be in luck. I hope I make it out alive, 'Cause tonight might end my life. I hope I make it out alive. I burned the house to watch the flames. And there I sat against the wall, twelve gauge in hand. I had a scheme, I had a plot, I had a dream, I had a plan. Then the lamp shattered, sending pieces to the floor. I laid right still in wait, and there he entered through the door. I heard the dogs and men, but still he had not spotted me. How will I make it out? I sat and pondered, silently. I questioned, reasoned, doubted answers in my mind. And who would die that night in the Appalachian pines? He saw me crouching there and shot. I felt the heat and saw the bullet streak, white-hot. But then I heard another shot! Letras de cancionesBut then I heard another shot! I burned this house; I burned it down. I burned this house to watch the flames, And I would do it all again, I burned this house to watch the flames, Just to watch the flames! From Letras Mania
