Let The Music Play Lyrics

VERSE

Put the horses in the stable

load the mules on the train

set your pistols on the table

leave the dogs out in the rain

Take the money that they gave you

hide it in a mason jar

nobody now can save you

it don't matter where you are

CHORUS

Turn your lamp down low

hear the four winds blow

bow your head to pray

It ain't what you planned

you got one last stand

let the music play

VERSE

Left for dead in southern Georgia

at the hands of Hapless John

with your baby waitin for ya

you were home before the dawn

You know your shakin hands will save you

when your mouth is goin dry

when that law man back in Dayton

wouldn't look you in the eye

CHORUS

VERSE

He was nothin but a grifter

and he came to play the part

disguised as Luke the drifter

talk about a cheatin heart

And he sold you down the river

when he rode into your town

then that same old indian giver

struck a match and burned it down

CHORUS

VERSE

Now you're alone and barely breathin

lookin down from up above

needin somethin to believe in

wantin only truth and love

And the storm is slowly dyin

at the breakin of the day

all the steel guitars are cryin

I'm rollin down that lost highway

CHORUS

TAG

It ain't like you planned

You got one last stand

let the music play
