Too many shadows on the highway So I go the old back road I see a hangman digging someone's grave Might be mine, I just don't know Watch your step boy don't let your guard down around here That devil always plays for keeps You get off track or turn your back They'll put you in the ground here And those fangs always go vein deep It ain't the snake that you see It's the one in the weeds I hear the rattle in the distance Sends a shiver down my spine Sometimes I swear I feel them closing in But I don't know if it's a stranger or a friend of mine Watch your step boy don't let your guard down around here That devil always plays for keeps You get off track or turn your back They'll put you in the ground here And those fangs always go vein deep It ain't the snake that you see It's the one in the weeds It's the one in the weeds Watch your step boy don't let your guard down around here The devil always plays for keeps You get off track or turn your back They put you in the ground here Those fangs always go vain deep It ain't the snake that you see It's the one in the weeds It's the one in the weeds
