Too many shadows on the highway
So I go the old back road
I see a hangman digging someone's grave
Might be mine, I just don't know
Watch your step
Boy, don't let your guard down around here
The devil always plays for keeps
You get off track, you turn your back
They'll put you in the ground here
And those fangs always go vein deep
It ain't the snake that you see
It's the one in the weeds
I hear the rattle in the distance
Sends a shiver down my spine
Sometimes I swear I feel them closing in
But I don't know if it's a stranger or a friend of mine
Watch your step
Boy, don't let your guard down around here
The devil always plays for keeps
You get off track, you turn your back
They'll put you in the ground here
And those fangs always go vein deep
It ain't the snake that you see
It's the one in the weeds
Oh, the one in the weeds
Watch your step
Boy, don't let your guard down around here
The devil always plays for keeps
You get off track, you turn your back
They'll put you in the ground here
Those fangs always go vain deep
It ain't the snake that you see
It's the one in the weeds
It's the one in the weeds
