You Won't Know

Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Hangman

Go get your rope

Your daughters weren't careful

I fear that I am a slippery slope

Now even if I lay my head down at night

After a day, I got perfectly right

She won't know

She won't know

So pray, little Kay, love's God on a good day

And you can't blame your mother

She's tryin' not to see you as her worst mistake

And I wish that I could tell you right now that I love you

But it looks like I won't be around, so you won't know

You won't know

So you won't know

You won't know

So believe in me, believe that you think I'll let you down

Well, I won't, they can fire everything they've got

And when you think I'm sunk, I will float on and on

I have burned the bush that covered my light

And now I'm scared I won't burn that bright

And you won't know

You won't know

You won't know

You won't know

You're never gonna feel as full as you felt

So let's go outside and we'll play William Tell

Take your time drawin' your bead, I'll stand as still as you need

'Cause you're so good at talkin' smack, you're a heart attack

But you're the apple of my eye anyway

Smilin' face that's on your head is on a silver plate

So they say, they say in Heaven

There's no husbands and wives

On the day that I show up

They'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies

And I can't use the telephone

To tell you that I'm dead and gone

So you won't know

You won't know

No, you won't know

No, you won't know

No, you won't know

No, you won't know

No, you won't know

You won't know
