The priest took off his collar Started wearing it like a headband He said X's and O's, fingers and toes Now you want to kiss a dead man Do you want to kiss a dead man Sun coming over the mountain Nobody's telling the truth That fire you started down in Chaparral Burned everybody that you knew It burned everybody that you knew Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't no one gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you It burned north through the county Like a fire's been known to do It's been on your trail Now it's on your tail And it's surrounding you It's surrounding you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't nothin' gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to X's and O's, ribbons and bows Ain't nothin' gonna save you Nobody wants to die But they know They're gonna have to Silver and gold, people you know Ain't nothin' gonna save you But whatever you do Whatever you do It's coming after you It's coming after you They're coming after you They're coming after you

I can't remember when I've felt this lost I took a wrong turn trying to carry this cross Why'd I have to go and get blessed with a curse I'm chasing death or glory, whichever comes first One for the money, four on the floor You were born last week with your foot in the door I heard truth is what songs are for Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore You had everything you needed to get it all right You said you're gonna get rich if it takes all night Should I go to Texas or Tennessee Or lock myself in Tulsa and throw away the key

There you are In a darkened room And you're all alone Looking out the window Your heart is cold and lost the will to love Like a broken arrow Here I stand in the shadows Come to me, come to me Can't you see that? Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting for you all of my life Nobody wants to be lonely, so why? Why don't you let me love you? Can you hear my voice? Do you hear my song? It's a serenade So your heart can find me And suddenly you're flying down the stairs Into my arms, baby Before I start going crazy Run to me, run to me 'Cause I'm dying Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting for you all of my life Nobody wants to be lonely, so why? Why don't you let me love you? Why? Why? Why? Oh, why, why, why? Why? Why? I want to feel you need me Just like the air you're breathing I need you here in my life Don't walk away, don't walk away Don't walk away, don't walk away No, no, no, no Nobody wants to be lonely Nobody wants to cry Nobody wants to be lonely I don't want to be lonely Nobody wants to cry I don't want to cry My body's longing to hold you I'm longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Time is precious and it's slipping away And I've been waiting for you all of my life Nobody wants to be lonely, so why? Why don't you let me love you? Why? Why? Why? Why don't you let me love you? Why? Why? Why? Nobody wants to be lonely I don't want to cry Nobody wants to cry My body's longing to hold you So bad it hurts inside Nobody wants to be lonely I don't want to be lonely Nobody wants to cry I don't want to cry Nobody
