Lyrics

High Strung​Everybody said he was high strungNobody expected thisHis mama said he was a good sonAlways did just what she askedSince before we lost our religionYou and I and he were friendsIf anybody comes here asking questionsI’m gonna swear to God that I wasn’t in –I wasn’t in on this thingI wish I hadn’t lent him my gunI really didn’t know the riskIt doesn’t mean I’m guilty if I runBut them cops could make a saint confessEverybody said he was a time bombSomeone lit the fuse at lastI don’t even want to know where he’s hidin’As for me, man, I’m gonna head out west –I’m gonna slip out westNow I need you to do me a favorThere’s something I need you to holdJust until this thing blows overThen, I’ll call you from the road –I’m gonna call you from the roadYou won’t recognize the numberBut when you get my callMeet me in that place in the desertWhere we used to take our baby dollsSince before we lost our religionYou and I and he were friendsIf anybody comes here asking questionsI’m gonna swear to God that I wasn’t in –I wasn’t in on this thingNow I need you to do me a favorThere’s something I need you to holdJust until this thing blows overThen, I’ll call you from the road –I’m gonna call you from the road
