The Thing I Done

I roll like thunder

Go like dynamite

All flesh and bone I come

Old death 'long by my side

In from the storm

This scornful breath about my tongue

Oh, the thing I done

(The thing I done)

I took my chances

Took what chance I got

Lord, know my hands is tied

This all-bindin' ancient blood

There flood my mind

Images blindin' as the sun

Oh, the thing I done

(The thing I done)

Can't tell my future

(Ooh)

I can't tell my past

(Ooh)

It's only eludin' fate

(Ooh)

That make my journey's task

(Ooh)

That weigh down upon me

(Ooh)

'Cause I'm always out on the run

(Ooh)

Oh, the thing I done

(Ooh)

(The thing I done)

(Ooh)

The band are playin'

Bathed in electric light

But I'm all at sea, away

(Uh)

Under the shade o' that dark fright

(Uh)

Know I never had a chance

I come bound to all I done

Yeah, let me hear you kick it on now, oh

(Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop)

You hear me singin'

(Ooh)

Know my time ain't long

(Ooh)

Desirous, this song I bring

(Ooh)

On these unrestin' bones

(Ooh)

Long ways from home

(Ooh)

I stumbled long, since time begun

(Ooh)

Oh, the thing I done

(Ooh)

(The thing I done)

The thing I done

(Ooh)

Hey

The thing I done

(Ooh)

Yeah

The thing I done

(Ooh)

(Ooh)
