Nothing Left to Say

[Verse 1]
Past my ribs and the thick of my skin
A shriveled little heart bleedin' black with sin
Someone'll take it, but I don't know when
I'll be waitin', lookin' 'round the bend
But 'til then, leave me to my life of sin
To my life of sin

[Verse 2]
Down in Caroline in the thick of the woods
Some poor child's gettin' lost as he could
'Cause nobody cares if you're understood
He'll be waitin', hopin' that they could
'Til then, leave him in the thick of the woods
In the thick of the woods

[Chorus]
Nobody's gonna tell me somethin' like
My lifе is simpler and better off this way
So comе on, darlin', let me sing you somethin'
'Til my heart's older with nothin' left to say
'Til my heart's older with nothin' left to say
'Til I've nothing left to say

[Verse 3]
Somebody get me out this Podunk town
I'm lookin' for somethin' they say won't be found
For someone to tell me I'm glory bound
And wash my sins in the righteous sound
But it sure as hell ain't in this Podunk town
Ain't in this Podunk town

[Verse 4]
Cross my heart and I know l'Il die
Well, come on, Miss Sallie, lay your flesh with mine
You're lovin' a man who loves on borrowed time
So love me sweetly 'til the day I die
And roll my bones on back to Caroline
On back to Caroline

[Chorus]
Nobody's gonna tell me somethin' like
My life is simpler and better off this way
So come on, darlin', let me sing you somethin'
'Til my heart's older with nothin' left to say
Nobody's gonna tell you somethin' like
Your life is simpler and better off this way
So come on, darlin', let me sing you somethin'
'Til my heart is older with nothin' left to say
'Til my heart's older with nothin' left to say
'Til my heart's older with nothin' left to say
'Til I've nothin' left to say
