Civilized Hell

Well she's been runnin' for a mighty long time

Cuttin' fences and snappin' lines

She growin' on me, I hope that she don't go

Wind's blowin' on me, I feel the fire grow

She's a rebel and I like it

It don't take much to make her yell

And I draw cold water from a wishing well

Hopin' she don't die in a civilized hell

I had a good friend tell me not long ago

Said "Change is rainin' and I'm ready to roll"

So I led her down through the canyon wall

I told her here we roll when the river calls

She's a rebel and I like it

It don't take much to make her yell

And I draw cold water from a wishing well

Hopin' she don't die in a civilized hell, in a civilized hell

I saw an old woman with a twinkle eyed grin

Settin' fire to a billboard with a song in her head

I heard her cry out loud, happy she's alive

And the stars will shine as this fire dies

She's a rebel and I like it

It don't take much to make her yell

And I draw cold water from a wishing well

Hopin' she don't die in a civilized hell, in a civilized hell

All right

I ain't leavin' this road I know

I ain't done fightin' for the freedom I chose

Can't put a rope on me, you can't shoot me down

I listen to my heart, I hear the river's sound

I'm a rebel and I like it

It don't take much to make me yell

And I draw cold water from a wishing well

Hopin' I don't die in a civilized hell

I hope that I don't die in a civilized hell

A civilized hell, a civilized hell, in a civilized hell
