Back Bone Lyrics by The Rumble Strips

Welcome to the Walkalone

2009

Back bone, back bone
Please don't leave me all alone
Oh my, oh my
Listen to your goods boy, run for your life

And what a fool I've been
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

They tell me everything
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

What's that, what's that
My love don't love me right back
Oh well, oh well
You got my back bone, take my heart as well

And it's a perfect sin
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

Fly away, I leave your sting
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

She don't mean it
She don't mean it
She ain't speakin'
She's just sleepin'

Heart beat, heart beat
Good luck pumping concrete
Oh well, oh well
Listen to your backbone, boy, and run like hell

And it's a perfect sin
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

They tell me everything
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

It's so easy
It's so easy
And I'm leavin'
I'm leavin', oh

What a fool I've been
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

Fly away, I leave your sting
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind

Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, woah
