"Taking The Fall" lyrics

There's an young deputy outside my back door
By coincidence my girl is missing too
The fight we had late last night
Don't make the neighbours right
Seems only the ba-you knows the truth

They led a team to search down by the water
But all they found were keys and a missing shoe
Maybe a gator got her
Or maybe she's gone
On a greyhound bus - bound for Hollywood

Out in the distance
I hear the thunder roll
A storm is coming
Coming for a soul

'Cause I didn't do
I never knew
I did nothin' at all
Yeah I didn't do
I didn't do
I'm not taking the fall

Now the sheriff tries to cuff me for suspicion
But I run into the woods as fast as I can
No, they ain't giving up
And I ain't giving in
'Cause all they found down here is an innocent man

The county's hunting
They're looking at me to blame
Gonna hide in the evergreens
Till I clear my name
Yeah yeah
So I can show that

I didn't do
I never knew
I did nothin' at all
Yeah I didn't do
I didn't do
I'm not taking the fall

'Cause I didn't do
I never knew
I did nothin' at all

'Cause I didn't do
I never knew
I did nothin' at all
Yeah I didn't do
I didn't do
I'm not taking the fall

I didn't do
I never knew
I did nothin' at all
I didn't do
I didn't do
I'm not taking the fall
No, no, yeah
