Dr. Dog - I Know lyrics

When you're all timed out
And your sand's been tested
Through the hands of the hourglass
When you're hit with the bell
And the birds stopped singing
Knocked out flat on your ass
When you're laid out to pasture
And the field's are grown barren
Was there greener than your own grass?
When push comes to shove
And shove comes to blows
And the maker is met at last

There's one thing I know that
I never been told
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
Will you stand by the life
That's only your own?
Will you turn and run away?

When you're all dried up
And you take your bottom dollar
To the well and you give it away
When you stall on empty
And you burn the last gas
At the end of the fairest way
When you're caught in the track
And you stare down the barrel
What will you have to say?
When push comes to shove
And shove comes to blows
And you fall on judgement day

There's one thing I know that
I've never been told
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
Will you stand by the life
That's only your own?
Will you turn and run away?
