Ten Mile Bayou

well we met midday at the ten mile bayou
the dead of spring and the weeds all in bloom
well the shade crept in and the toads were screeming
god's eyes closed like a cell door swinging

and the trucks lumbered on
through the night till the dawn
yeah we left them all alone
in a ditch sunk like stones

it's a long long way down the ten mile bayou
when truth comes around will it finally find you?
well we all skipped school and we started drinking
we killed them kids cuz i wasn't thinking

and the trucks lumbered on
through the night until the dawn
yeah we left them all alone
in a ditch sunk like stones

we killed them kids cuz i wasn't thinking.
