Heathens Lyrics

Something about the wrinkle in your forehead
Tells me there? s a fit about to get thrown
If we get the van out of the ditch before morning
Ain? t nobody got to know what I done

And I never hear a single word you say
When you tell me not to have my fun
It? s the same old shit that
I ain? t gonna take off anyone

And I don? t need to be forgiven
By them people in the neighborhood
When we first hooked up, you looked me in the eye
And said,? Paw, we just ain? t no good?

We were heathens in their eyes at the time
I guess I am just a heathen still
And I never have repented from the wrongs that they say
I have done, I've done what I feel

It was a difficult delivery now it? s growing up mean and strong
When you tell me that it? s getting a little bit tight
Ain? t the first time I been outgrown and I? m gonna push a little harder
She ain? t revved till the rods are thrown I? ll walk away

And I don? t need to be forsaken by you or anybody else
And I never had a shortage of people tryin? to warn me
About the dangers I pose to myself, heathens

These times can take their toll sometimes
And I know you feel the same way too
It gets so hard to keep between the ditches
When roads wind the way they do
