Sidestep Your Grave by Andrew Duhon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a slow track down a burned-out building
Baby, don’t you want to go
Somewhere east of Mississippi
Ain’t nobody gonna know
Well, that governor’s wife was so doggone pretty
Tell me, what’s a boy to do

[Chorus]
Now it's your life, son
You better leave that city ‘cause the word’s out
She been getting down with you
You might find that straight and narrow way
But you got to sidestep your grave

[Verse 2]
Well if you slow down then the devil gon’ catch you
Son, you better move along
Well, somewhere east of Appalachia
Go ahead and grow your own
[Chorus]
If you get burnt out on the bluegrass
Pull your plants up now from the middle of the corn
Buy a flatbed on your straight cash
Buy a dead man’s jacket from a second-hand store
You might find salvation someday
But you got to sidestep your grave

[Chorus]
If you get burnt out on the bluegrass
Pull your plants up now from the middle of the corn
Buy a flatbed on your straight cash
Buy a dead man’s jacket from a second-hand store
You might find salvation someday
But you got to sidestep your grave
Oh, repent my son and thou shall be saved
But you got to sidestep your grave
