Oh Am I mistaken, how can I make it Mistakes are forsaken, the one thing I'm taking away I know you're mistaken, that you can't take it That you've been forsaken, you got nothing to take away So listen don't mistake, when you try to fake it And just never forsake, the path that That we all take It's the path we all take What you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth So I have been misguided, with nothing to find and This forgone conclusion, is nothing's good to those who wait With forces collided, the masses devided Will become united, along the path that we all take It's the path that we all take What you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth Hahaha oh! I know you disagree, wont tell me what you think I'll never beg your pardon, so come and have a drink There's one thing I can say, you'd better get yourself away Before we come in last, move down the path The path that we all take It's the path that we all take What you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth No, what you know is not the truth No, it's over now we've got the proof That you know That what you know is not the truth

It's a long way home, down a road you don't quite know Empty bottles you call home are thrown out, feed the seed you've sewn Your best friends all around, line 'em up. knock 'em down Johnny, Bushmills, Gibson's, Jack and Jame-O, Forty Creek and Crown Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Fight for, what's more You'll find what you need Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Live for, fight for and die for Let's go That bottle calls again my friend, this looks like the end You'll find yourself again someday That bottle calls again, again I know you're gonna find a way Empty bottle on your left, another full one on your right Tonight no choice is yours, the liquor knows how best to bring delight Live a life full of regret, one you've all but thrown away Your say surrendered long before you ever, thought you'd see the day Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Fight for, what's more You'll find what you need Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Live for, fight for and die for Let's go That bottle calls again my friend, this looks like the end You'll find yourself again someday That bottle calls again, again I know you're gonna find a way Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Fight for, what's more You'll find what you need Once in your lifetime, you'll find something to Live for, fight for and die for Let's go You'll find yourself again someday I know you're gonna find a way

Let's go If I needed to be noticed, so bad I threw away Everything that was in focus, only just yesterday What would you want to tell me, maybe say it to my face Don't sulk around the corner, disappear without a trace A lesson learned so long ago, a dead man I would be If I couldn't laugh at myself, without impunity Now you try to get away from, responsibility And no I'm not surprised at, your insecurity Run - You can run For - You can run Your - You can run Life - Just as far as you want Run - You can run For - You can run Your - But you Life - Cannot escape So Listen now I'll say it out loud, before I walk away Got nothing in my hand, that's what you mean to me Now I know what I am doing, so show yourself the door From outside you will see, I am superior To you Run - You can run For - You can run Your - You can run Life - Just as far as you want Run - You can run For - You can run Your - But you Life - Cannot escape You can run just as far as you want, but you can't run from the truth You can run for the rest of your life, but you cant escape the truth You can run just as far as you want, you can run just as far as you want You can run just as far as you want, but you cannot escape Let's go Run - You can run For - You can run Your - You can run Life - Just as far as you want Run - You can run For - You can run Your - But you Life - Cannot escape You can run, you can run, you can run Just as far as you want You can run, you can run, you can run Not far enough

Preacher 04:28

Last night, you slept in bed I walked down the road instead kept up with thoughts swirled in my head Everything I'd built just crumbling To the left I looked Over my shoulder and shook My head while i overlook One decision that I never took I'm lost when you rebuke the one decision that I never took Cluttered inside your mind Everything but what you want to find Where you going now What do you want me to do and how I know what I need Show me something I could never see On my own, but I believe That I want to be free On your own You've got nothing left to lose This is freedom Now tell me what you're going to do On your own Nothing to prove This is freedom This is freedom A voice inside my head Warning me of all that lies ahead Bullets locked on me All the monsters watching while I bleed Now I understand All else fails so I use my bare hands According to plan Only one more thing for which to stand On your own You've got nothing left to lose This is freedom Now tell me what you're going to do On your own Nothing to prove This is freedom That's right, that's what im telling you On your own You've got nothing left to lose This is freedom Now tell me what you're going to do On your own Nothing to prove This is freedom This is freedom Hey hey, hey hey Hey hey, hey Hey what do you say Today I'm not done, I've seen his kind before Get him off his throne so I can put him in the ground On your own You've got nothing left to lose This is freedom Now tell me what you're going to do On your own Nothing to prove This is freedom That's right, that's what im telling you On your own You've got nothing left to lose This is freedom Now tell me what you're going to do On your own Nothing to prove This is freedom This is freedom
