[00:00.00]South St. Hymnal - Thieves And Villains
[00:22.72]I see his father now from time to time
[00:27.90]He wears a smile but you can't undress the sadness from those eyes
[00:33.50]He haunts a drink and wants something to believe
[00:39.69]He says god took everything everything from me
[00:45.16]And all the good is gone
[00:52.63]Been lonesome for so long
[00:56.30]And I can't hear the choir singing now
[01:02.20]Just those chains I drag along
[01:16.61]And I breathed my life into this child
[01:21.93]He was young he was brilliant bright and wild
[01:27.23]I was a fool to think
[01:29.13]I'd ever see the day he'd become a better man than me
[01:36.65]And carry on my name
[01:38.63]And all the good is gone
[01:46.25]Been lonesome for so long
[01:49.82]And I can't hear that choir singing now
[01:55.74]Just those chains I drag along
[02:03.71]Hallelujah hallelujah
[02:15.19]I've been down this road before
[02:21.46]And my heart it took a toll
[02:29.82]When all the good is gone
[02:37.26]Been lonesome for so long
[02:40.76]And I can't hear that choir singing now
[02:46.62]Just those chains I drag along
[02:54.64]Hallelujah hallelujah
[03:06.19]I walked down this road alone
[03:12.38]When this town it felt like home
