Sun sits up smiling high
Impassive and proud
I wonder if he hears
Those trumpets so loud
Such a day to dream away
If I could I would
But I'm running like a fire through the corn
From the pack of hounds that are baying for my bones
As if my times weren't bad enough
Got these devils on my back
Don't care to think what they'd do
Should they catch me
I've only got what God gave to win freedom
Can almost feel their hungry breath
Dirtying my skin
My legs are giving in
But I'll make it
There it is I see it now
The Big Water
And I'll run right in surrender to the flow
They'll be on the bank and look at that fox go
