Lyrics

© Ron Rutherford & Rarestar Music ASCAP Verse 1 If thunder heads form and people pour down Rage river overruns and turns red brown Would you swim for your life or hold your ground Damned if you live Damned if you drown Chorus 1 Sometimes damned if you do Definitely damned if you don’t Save yourself, family, friends and home Bury the hatchet with your ancestors bones And you won’t be damned to go it alone Verse 2 Born in the badlands, washed up on a beach With a load on your back tied to a leash Are you yourself or too heavy to reach Damned if you follow Damned if you preach Chorus 2 Sometimes damned if you do Definitely damned if you don’t Save yourself, family, friends and home Pull the sword straight out of the stone And you won’t be damned to go it alone Verse 3 Don’t tread on me with transparent eyes Because I have survived through more than you realize So tell me the truth or I’ll expose your guise Damned as a fool Damned with your lies Chorus 3 Sometimes damned if you do Definitely damned if you don’t Save yourself, family, friends and home Pry the knowledge from the jaws of the unknown And you won’t be damned to go it alone Verse 4 The soothsayer spins this simple advice A cautionary tale to choose friends that are wise Do they have your back or do they secretly despise Damned hellos Damned goodbyes Chorus 4 – Out Sometimes damned if you do Definitely damned if you don’t Save yourself, family, friends and home Make your city, state, nation, world your own And you won’t be damned No you won’t be damned You won’t be damned to go it alone
