Be Careful What You Sign Songtext

von Larry Norman

I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
You stopped me you touched me you look me in the eye
I had a feeling that you knew me I decided you must die
I pulled out my thornton special I shot you in the head
I threw you in the alleyway and left you for dead

Then a man with a hat came up from behind
The sky went black and I thought I was blind
He put his hand inside my jacket and left a million dollar bills
He slipped his hands into my pocket and gave me women and thrills
And when I turn around to thank him there was no one there but me
And both my hands were filled with sand I was standing by the sea

We had dinner at eight and women at nine
The party was great till we ran out of wine
There was a knock upon the bedroom door my knees began to shake
And this man came in and melted all the candles on my cake
He said i've come here to escort you it's time for you to go
He open up my body and took away my soul

I was running down the road
I was trying to leave
And I saw you all alone in between the thiefs
And when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
And as I turned to walk I realized it was me
I pulled out my thornton special I shot me in the head
I threw me in the alleyway and left me for dead
Down the road
Down the road
