At Your Word Lyrics

At Your Word lyrics

I'll take you at your word 

and as far as I can throw you 

leave you
with the baby 

and I hardly even know you 

it's gut check time for
daddy 

when it's loaded and unlocked 

got to go in to press some
skin 

and leave it gleaming in the dock 

would you watch her for me
sir? 

I'll have to take you at your word... 





I read up
on the stallions 

marked an X inside the box 

I just want the strong
one 

not the one who counts and talks 

and if you roll the sleeves
up on your shirt 

I'll take you at your word 





doc's
flicking at the barrel 

with the needle to the sky 

got me counting
backwards 

as it sinks into my thigh 

you said you'd cut me good 

and I'll have to take you at your word... 





I trust in my
abilities 

but I want more than they offer 

working then gambling
like the cycle of water 

it's harder to breathe as you're raising the
stakes 

move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate 





not
an atom left to hold me 

medicated on the bus 

I'm sleeping soundly
as we're swerving 

but the driver's not I trust 

c'mon Big Bopper
c'mon Buddy 

get in the chopper 

hope your boots aren't muddy 

she's an airworthy bird 

I'll have to take you at your word... 





I trust you to be on it 

completely bonded and stone
cold honest 

sure
