running' from the truth for all my life   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   no I'm too tired to tell more lies   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   I never lied to you and I never laid blame   it was my own fault for what I became   the flies on the ceiling and the dogs in the cane   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   noon as dark as midnight   the judge is down the road   now walk with me, just a little while   I'm too weak on my own, how long have I been this way   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   always said I'd trade the rest of my days   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   can't take you with me when I leave here   one more time I need you here   one more walk through the pines my dear   wake up darlin', wake up darlin'   noon as dark as midnight   the judge is down the road   now walk with me   just a little while   I'm just too weak on my own
