Down here it’s so dark

The people in this town
Gm
They must be scared of something
[Chorus]

Baby won’t you stay down

Baby won’t you stay down

Did you see that guy in the wheelchair?

He must sit there all day waving at the cars

Don’t forget before you speak

You can’t swallow it
Gm
But you can choke on your tongue
[Chorus]

Get in back and stay down

I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head

Baby won’t you stay down

Baby won’t you stay down

We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
D# Gm
The two of us are headed for Savannah

We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
D# Gm
The two of us are headed for forever
