Hope It Don’t

[Verse 1]
Well, it's old wood
Oh, this place could haunt you
If only I could stay, not only I could say
That it shook the clothes from my tired bones
Well, this place is a book of matches
Whole world knows to keep away
When the hour was breaking on the hour was good
And the money you're making on the money was good
But it broke your spirit, oh, it broke you down
And now you're dying to leave it
Destined to live, not leaving this town

[Pre-Chorus]
Aw, baby, won't you roll back 'round
Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground
When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound
Oh, you can breathe in now
Won't you say you do like I say I do?
Would you hold me baby like it's all okay?
I'll pretend I never even heard you say

[Chorus]
I just hope it don't
I just hope it don't
I just hope it don't
Oh, I just hope it don't

[Verse 2]
Well, the river was twisting like a river it should
Over time that we're missing what the river, it took
Well, it washed our children, it wash our hands
Remember the blood here
Remember the blood that ran from the land

[Pre-Chorus]
Aw, baby, won't you roll back 'round?
Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground
When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound
Oh, you can breathe in now
Won't you say you do like I say I do?
Would you hold me baby like it's all okay, like it's all okay?
It's all okay

[Bridge]
I will love you till the day I don't
I will want you till the day I won't
But If I don't need you till the day I'm gone
I just hope that day don't come, I just hope I'm wrong
I hope it come, I just hope it don't come

[Chorus]
I just hope it don't
I hope it come, I just hope it don't come
I just hope it don't
I hope it come, I just hope it don't come
I just hope it don't
I hope it come, I just hope it don't come
Oh, I just hope it don't

[Outro]
Don't come
I just hope it don't
I just hope it don't
I just hope it don't
Oh, I just hope it don't
