Election Blues Lyrics by The Cold Stares

Heavy Shoes

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh, I think I've been here before
Finger on the trigger and my good foot out the door
I think I've heard this line
The house is on fire but everything will be just fine
[Chorus]
Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills
Dotted the line when I signed my will
Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?
You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues
[Verse 2]
Oh, I think I've seen this film
Different director but we all know how it ends
Oh, you know I've read this book
Just another killer that gets right off the hook
[Chorus]
Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills
Dotted the line when I signed my will
Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?
You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues
[Verse 3]
First they tell you that your brother's not the same
Then they come and they tell you that your sister is to blame
Oh, then they tell you there's no heaven up above, oh Lord now
They put a knife in your neck and tell you all you need is love
[Bridge]
Now tell me do you wanna be free? Oh Lord, yes
Now tell me do you wanna be free? Hey now
Are you ready, do you wanna be free? Oh, come on now
Come on, tell me, do you wanna be free?
Do you wanna be free?
[Chorus]
Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills
Dotted the line when I signed my will
Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?
You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues
