lyrics

I was heading for the mountains, I was running from my oldest foes
This attack that they've been mounting has got me on my toes
Money moving in and out, there was not a single question posed
Got mixed up in the wrong hands, now someone's asking for my head to roll

This time when the snakes come by, they smile but they're not gun shy
Hide a little bit longer
Oh if you turn me in, I'll tread but I can't quite swim
Hide a little bit longer now

I was phoning to my family, dropping quarters everywhere I go
Something nipping at me heels now, I gotta let you know
Heard a knock on my door, hand outstretched asking what I'm waiting for
Got a blunt knife in the other, you're not gonna hear me call no more

This time when the snakes come by, they smile but they're not gun shy
Hide a little bit longer
Oh if you turn me in, I'll tread but I can't quite swim
Hide a little bit longer now
