Down here it’s so dark

Not like in New York

I’ve never seen so many churches in all of my life

The people in this town

They must be scared of something
[Chorus]

Get in back and stay down

I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head

Baby won’t you stay down
A Bm
Baby won’t you stay down

Did you see that guy in the wheelchair?

He must sit there all day waving at the cars

Don’t forget before you speak
G
You can’t swallow it
Bm
But you can choke on your tongue
[Chorus]
Bm
Get in back and stay down

I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head

Baby won’t you stay down

Baby won’t you stay down

We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting

The two of us are headed for Savannah
A
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
G Bm
The two of us are headed for forever
[Chorus]

Get in back and stay down

I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head

Baby won’t you stay down
