Rattlesnake take my hand, wake me up, lead me back I don't believe you're all that bad anyway My old man don't care about me, he's got a cold heart, and I wanna set it free But it's not my job, but it's not easy So I guess it's time to just let it be anyway Don't forget where you come from and don't let it get in your way The rattlesnake's gonna get someone But it won't get me, cause I got my gun And I got my heart and I'm going home today So please forget the things I said I was dark in the heart, and deep in my head But I want you to know that I loved you the best anyway I might pray to keep me safe, draw me a map in the water and clay I don't believe in the things they say at all So the rattlesnake may take my soul but that's the risk that I've come to know When you love something you can't control at all Don't forget where you come from and don't let it get in your way The rattlesnake's gonna get someone But it won't get me, cause I got my gun And I got my heart and I'm going home today So please forget the things I said I was dark in the heart, and deep in my head But I want you to know that I loved you the best I want you to know I loved you the best I want you to know that I loved you the best anyway Best anyway
