Snake Handler - India Ramey

You (you, you) were my oppressor And I, (I, I) I have been programmed to obey But now (now, now) you are my handler And I, (I, I) I will execute your demands Leave me alone I must disassociate from you Behold (hold, hold) my trance formation And you (you, you) are empowered to do as you please My mind (mind, mind) was lost in translation And my heart (heart, heart) has become a cold and impassive machine Leave me alone I must disassociate from you, yeah, yeah I won't let you control my feelings anymore And I will no longer do as I am told And I am no longer afraid to walk alone Let me go, let me be I am escaping from your grip You will never own me again, yeah, yeah

I can't count the cities and towns that I've left behind Me I'm still drifting, running on rodeo time Tonight a steel guitar's playing And I'm alone at a table for two Chasing 8 second glory I've sure come a long way for you I'm West Texas lonely Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Well a week from tonight I'll see Amarillo again And I can't help but wonder If you'll be there in the stands I guess you remember That spotlight gets dimmer each day Cause being a cowboy Always means riding away And I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue
