Take You Back (The Iron Hoof Cattle Call) - Orville Peck

Hear them riding, baby

Hear them coming around my door (Oh no)

Light’s been out, though, baby

And I’ve been long, long gone (Yeehaw)

I’m keen to play with fire, but now I’m not so sure

Racing down the road that I’ve been before

I’ve seen rattlesnakes behind every door

I’ve been around this world and now everything’s a bore

I don’t know that much, but I know about keeping score

And if there’s one thing I know for sure

It’d be a long cold day in Hell when I take you back

Can you hear the horses, baby?

Stronger than an iron hoof

But this town has always bored me

And baby, that’s including you

Racing down the road that I’ve been before

I’ve seen rattlesnakes behind every door

I’ve been around this world and it’s rotten to the core

Yeah, I don’t know that much, but I know about keeping score

I got a face of gold, I got a heart of coal

But baby, that’s my cross to bear

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back

I won’t take you back
