I Remember When

I Remember When

I remember when I saw the sea freeze
But it said nothing about the birds and the bees
They were swarming around my head
You'll be better off dead

But I ain't going down like that
I ain't going down like that

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where I've gone and I'm bound
And I lie, it's a sin, but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim
Now that he's in jail and his story's for sale
The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail
It points to the West and he leaves out the rest
Invites you to be his special guest

I remember when I saw the leaves fall
I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball
Into the ditch I fly wanted dead or alive

But I ain't going down like that
No I ain't going down like that
'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where I've gone and I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim

Now that he's in jail and his story's for sale
The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail
It points to the West and he leaves out the rest
Invites you to be his special guest

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been
And I know where I've gone and I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim
And stop
