Laid Down My Arms

Where you been of lately? Cause I'm missing your cheeks The ones upon your face babe And the ones above your knees You could be a meal now Leave nothing but your ribs Or I could settle you a new town In the mountains where you lived when you were just a kid and I swear I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along "How can I be helpful?" Said the lady on the phone "Oh and ain't the weather dreadful? It's all a plan to keep us alone." Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me So that I know I'm awake And what does "teach your man to fish" mean? It's to survive another day I'll hold you if you hold you Self-respect I pay it back And tell your old boy that's the old you So he don't come around here thinking That he'll get you back cause he won't though I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along I spent my whole life fighting fear after fear Yeah all my days, all my days I'd do them over and over and over and over again I've been right here before I've made up my mind Yeah all my days, all my days I'd do them over and over and over and over and I laid down my arms on the day you came along Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along Where you been of lately Cause I'm missing your cheeks
