Your Own Two Hands   Year: 2008 | Run Time: 5:21

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

you had a dream inside her head burn like a candle
she had a gun beneath her bed and some car keys on the mantle
is that the you i used to love the taste of your honey kiss
now i found i just run for my life from your clenched fist

giving all and there's no one beside you to stand
sometimes you take matters into your own two hands

no time for apologies and it's too late to repent
got no time to listen to your lame ass arguments
when the engine was running warm prayed a prayer to God
threw a suitcase and two kids in the back seat got the hell out of dodge

baby i am out of here i don't know where i'll land
sometimes you gotta take matters into your own two hands

took his gambling money and his drinking money too
she said you better not tell that brother of yours but just in case you do
just before she fled the scene fired a shot right past his head
so he could get in touch with what it felt like to live afraid

see i gave you all my very best so i hope you'll understand
sometimes you take matters into your own two hands

me i'm one long gone baby headed well into the night
sometimes all the wrong things are the ones that feel so right
and i wasn't asking you for much but your nothing just won't do
when you're stopped and stuck and then you make your move

baby i am out of here heading for a florida tan
sometimes you take matters into your own two hands

Appeared On…
