Doctors Not Gonna Cure Our Ills by The Beaten Sea Lyrics

Doctor's not gonna cure our ills
Preacher's not gonna bend out wills
Mother's not gonna set us still for long

Father told me he's got a plan
If that don't work, we'll burn the land
I wish I gave a damn, but I don't

So if you're gonna leave, don't go far
These distances can break my heart

Don't you worry one second more
I told you once and once before
I whispered through your bedroom door, it's alright

So if you're gonna cry, cry in my arms
You can't be loved and not be harmed
I tell you so you aren't alarmed when you are

So if you're gonna leave, don't go far
These distances can break my heart
Doctor's not gonna cure our ills
Preacher's not gonna bend out wills
Mother's not gonna set us still for long

Father told me he's got a plan
If that don't work, we'll burn the land
I wish I gave a damn, but I don't

So if you're gonna leave, don't go far
These distances can break my heart
