T-Bone Burnett - Fear Country Lyrics

The cat's out of the bag and it ain't going back

Your plan has hit a snag it has fallen through the crack



I got a tell on you

I got a tell on you



This is fear country

This is fear country

This is fear country



Five years of mercy and two days of grace

It only took a minute to fall on your face



I got a tell on you

I got a tell on you



This is fear country

This is fear country

This is a fear country



Cowboy with no cattle warrior with no war

They don't make imposters like John Wayne anymore



This is fear country

This is fear country

This is fear country



Nobody knows what's going to happen

Nobody knows what's going on

Nobody knows what's coming down

But it's coming down

And it happens in a moment

It happens in a moment



Do this for me

Or risk eternal agony

This is fear country

This is fear country

And if you don't believe me I can prove it

This is fear country

This is fear country

And if you don't believe me I can prove it

This is fear country
