Hope It Don't

Well it's old wood Oh, this place could haunt you If only I could stay Not only I could say That it shook the clothes From my tired bones Well this place is a book of matches Whole world knows to keep away When the hour was breaking On the hour was good And the money you're making On the money was good But it broke your spirit Oh, it broke you down And now you're dying to leave it Destined to live not leaving this town Ah baby won't you roll back round Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound Oh, you can breathe in now So won't you say you do Like I say I do Would you hold me baby like it's all ok? I'll pretend I never even heard you say I just hope it don't I just hope it don't I just hope it don't Hope, I just hope it don't Well the river was twisting Like a river it should And over time that we're missing What the river it took Well it washed our children It wash our hands Remember the blood here Remember the blood that ran from the land Ah, baby won't you roll back round Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound Oh, you can breathe in now Won't you say you do Like I say I do Would you hold me baby like it's all ok? Like it's all ok It's all ok I will love you 'Til the day I don't I will want you 'Til the day I won't But if I don't need you 'Til the day I'm gone I just hope that day don't come I just hope I'm wrong (Don't come and hope it don't) (Don't come and hope it don't) I just hope it don't (Don't come and hope it don't) (Don't come and hope it don't) I just hope it don't (Don't come and hope it don't) (Don't come and hope it don't) I just hope it don't (Don't come and hope it don't) Hope, I just hope it don't I just hope it don't I just hope it don't I just hope it don't Hope, I just hope it don't
