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
