Hope It Don't - All Tvvins

Well it’s old wood

Oh this place could haunt you

If only I could stay

Not only I could say

That it shook the clothes

From my tired bones

Well this place is a book of matches

Whole world knows to keep away

When the hour was breaking

On the hour was good

And the money you’re making

On the money was good

But it broke your spirit

Oh it broke you down

And now you’re dying to leave it

Destined to live not leaving this town

Aw baby won’t you roll back round

Nothing ain’t forgiven on this holy ground

When this good-old fire don’t make no smoke, no sound

Oh you can breathe in now

Won’t you say you do

Like I say I do

Would you hold me baby like it’s all OK

I’ll pretend I never even heard you say

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

Well the river was twisting

Like a river it should

Over time that we’re missing

What the river it took

Well it washed our children

It wash our hands

Remember the blood here

Remember the blood that ran from the land

Aw baby won’t you roll back round

Nothing ain’t forgiven on this holy ground

When this good-old fire don’t make no smoke, no sound

Oh you can breathe in now

Won’t you say you do

Like I say I do

Would you hold me baby like it’s all OK

Would you hold me baby like it’s all OK

It’s all OK

I will love you

Til the day I don’t

I will want you

Til the day I won’t

But If I don’t need you

Til the day I’m gone

I just hope that day don’t come

I just hope I’m wrong

I hope it come

I just hope it don’t come

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

I just hope it don’t

Don’t come

I just hope it don’t
