Go ahead and walk away from me  I can see what's going down  Dear boy, before you go  You had better hear me out    I've seen her face, I know her name  Comin' on to deal her drug  Like a summer field in flame  She's gonna light you up  But you think you're in love    I would give you every tear  But your destiny holds true  If I cried a lifetime still  This river would not save you  No, it would not save you    Something in you rages on  You know I don't believe the lies  Son, you're bound to prove me wrong  But I see doubt there in your eyes    I would give you every tear  But your destiny holds true  If I cried a lifetime  Still this river would not save you  No, it would not save you    I've been in the city for forty days  I recognize the devil behind that pretty face of hers  There's no mistaking this road you're taking  Will only break you down    There's nothing more that I can say  You're gonna go and prove me wrong anyway  Remember it's you that walked away  I will not compromise    Virgin Mother, light the way  All my weary breath is flown  I ran out of time to weep  A thousand, thousand sighs ago    Go ahead and walk away from here
