"Leave This House" lyrics

"Leave This House"

Just like Cain and Abel
Who let the devil come around
I'm the king of the garden
With a snake for a crown
When the Lord points His finger
That's when I'm going down

Well, I ain't no angel
But I like to pretend
I'm the king of the road
On the prairie wind
Gonna roll down the highway
Till I get to the end

But when I leave this house, I ain't coming back
Leave this house, I ain't coming back
Tied my sins to a railroad track
Leave my initials in chicken scratch
The garden of Eden has broken my back
When I leave this house, I ain't coming back

Hey now, mama
I'm gonna tell you what
I'm a hungry child
With an empty cup
I gotta get my fill
Until my time is up, yeah

When I leave this house, I ain't coming back
Leave this house, I ain't coming back
Tied my sins to a railway track
Leave my initials in chicken scratch
The Garden of Eden has broken my back
When I leave this house, I ain't coming back
