when the people find out

Singer:steve earle

it's late at night

you're all alone

pale moonlight

cold as stone

heart beats fast

time moves slow

strangers glance

does he know

where you gonna run to

where you gonna hide

where you gonna run to

where you gonna hide

where you gonna run to

where you gonna hide

when the people find out

that you lied

they took you in

made you well

they told you things

they never tell

to pay the debt

you made em fools

that's what you get

they trusted you

when they run to the temple and find

that the treasure's gone

do you think it's gonna be a cross

they're gonna nail you on
