Run Dont Drown

Eddie said: don't you stop, don't you bend a knee Don't you let what killed me come and bury me He was twenty-eight, sitting on my truck bed Three months later, mama found him in the shed I been carrying his sentence like a second heart Every time I'm sinking, I can hear him start Telling me the river don't care that I'm tired Telling me the only sin is when you let go and die

So I keep my head above when my chest is concrete I owe him every breath, every step on these streets

Run don't drown, run don't drown Eddie's voice the only thing keeping me from going down Run don't drown, run don't drown I'll see him on the other side when they put my body in the ground RUN DON'T DROWN

Got his name across my ribs in jailhouse blue Got his daughter's portrait taped on my visor too She's eleven now, and she's got his crooked smile I send the support and a card every other while Sign it: from your daddy, who's still standing here 'Cause if I quit, then he died for nothing, dear And nothing in this world's gonna make a liar of me Eddie's blood is the gas in this engine, see

So I keep my head above when my chest is concrete I owe him every breath, every step on these streets

Run don't drown, run don't drown Eddie's voice the only thing keeping me from going down Run don't drown, run don't drown I'll see him on the other side when they put my body in the ground RUN DON'T DROWN

Some men leave you money Some men leave you scars Eddie left me orders And the gas to drive that far RUN, BROTHER (BAND SLAM-IN) RUN

Run don't drown, run don't drown Eddie's voice the only thing keeping me from going down Run don't drown, run don't drown I'll see him on the other side when they put my body in the ground RUN DON'T DROWN WE DON'T DROWN

Run don't drown, run don't drown Run don't drown, run don't drown We don't drown We don't drown
