I remember when I saw the sea freeze
But it said nothing of the birds and the bees
That were swarming around my head
Singing Youd be better off dead
But I aint going down like that
No I aint going down like that
Because Im better than him
And I know where Ive been
And I know where Im comin from
A lie is a sin, but dont we all sin
That is the truth, and the truth is grim
Now hes in jail and his story is for sale
The farmers dog wags his crippled tail
It points to the West and leaves out the rest
And invites you to be his special guest
I remember when I saw the leaves fall
I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldnt wear to the ball
Into the ditch I fly wanted dead or alive
But I aint going down like that
No I aint going down like that
