Bells

The Unlikely Candidates

There used to be an angel watching over me
But she left me when I drank a river of blood
Down in Biloxi
I used to see the light
In the dark souls around me
But I traded all my life
For some loving and some gold down in Tennessee

And where we go
Nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord
We′re going down
Six, underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord

They laid me down into Georgia
They say we're gonna dig it for ya
You wasted all your life
You never got it right
Now we′ll teach you about loss an' pain

But there's something that′s shining blue
Can I ever take from you
You can take my gun
You can take my boots
But those hows, they′re coming for you
No

And where we go
Nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord
We're going down
Six, underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord

Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord

I used to see the light in the dark souls around me
Now when I come through the sky
I′m not asking why
When the bell hits 12, I'll swing

And where we go
Nobody knows
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord
We′re going down
Six, underground
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord

Those bells are ringing
Those bells are ringing, ringing loud
Oh, Lord
