Karma caught up last week 
No one said a word 
The lights died you could feel fear through the whole damn room 
I placed my bets on the ghost 
You kept your hands at your side 
You can't see what you don't know 
So keep your eyes and lips shhhh 
If you wanted 
To find the good side 
Well I'm sorry love 
The sun doesn't shine for you 
Pretty people at the steeple 
Passing paper off for a god 
Believe what you will but don't come back 
I'll stick with life love and lust 
Should have took that midnight train 
Can't recall my own last lie 
But that's for the better 
If worse comes to worst we'll shut this engine down 
These Nashville streets are lost 
In the things we knew we thought we knew 
Save the sad songs for the trip back 
We got three or more 'til tomorrow finds us here 
Pretty people at the steeple 
Passing paper off for a god 
Believe what you will but don't come back 
I'll stick with life love and lust
