Snakes
by Jonny Lang

Album: Signs

Oh, my, my, what's in store?
I couldn't wait to get out that door
To move my feet, chase those dreams
A whole other world waiting to explore

But I had no wisdom
A perfect victim

And when I stopped to rest up along the way
I heard 'em hissing out my name
Coming up fast outta the rye
Thought I'd get away running for my life

But they'd been waiting
No escaping
Lemme tell you that I...

Shoulda listened to my mama when she told me
"There's danger on that road"
I thought I was a grown man but I...
Just wasn't strong to hold my own

Against the snakes in that grass
There's snakes in that grass
There's snakes in that grass

Lying in the dark I felt so strange
Hardly remembered my own name
I feel the marks from the fangs
And the venom in my veins

A light is shining
Am I dying?
I remember thinking...

This is gonna be my last breath
I'd better use it to pray
Heaven must've been listening
'Cause I'm still alive today

To tell you there's snakes in that grass
There's snakes in that grass
Snakes in that grass
And they're waiting in the grass

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I shoulda listened to my mama when she told me
"There's danger on that road"

'Cause there's snakes in the grass
Snakes in the grass
There's snakes in the grass
They're waiting in the grass
Told ya, they're in the grass
I told ya
They're waiting, waiting in the grass
