Ill take you at your word
and as far as I can throw you
leave you with the baby
and I hardly even know you
its gut check time for daddy
when its 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?
Ill 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
Ill take you at your word


docs flicking at the barrel
with the needle to the sky
got me counting backwards
as it sinks into my thigh
you said youd cut me good
and Ill 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
its harder to breathe as youre raising the stakes
move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate


not an atom left to hold me
medicated on the bus
Im sleeping soundly as were swerving
but the drivers not I trust
cmon Big Bopper cmon Buddy
get in the chopper
hope your boots arent muddy
shes an airworthy bird
Ill have to take you at your word...


I trust you to be on it
completely bonded and stone cold honest
sure
