The Woods Lyrics

I go the only way I know

These aren't my shoes, these aren't my clothes

Won't pick it up, I don't know where it's been

Go out and see what I can find

Already knew, I had in mind

Retrace my steps to where my feet will fit

Oh, I've come a long way

From home

But I'm not out of the woods

Wondering if I should

Take shelter from the sunshine on my toes

Not out of the woods

Wondering if I could

Build me a fire and burn my only clothes

Burn my only clothes!

I go the only way I'm told

My hands are heavy, I can't let go of knowing

Everything will turn out fine

Not superstitious, though I've had good luck

A house, two dogs, a woman I love

And total entertainment all the time

Oh, I've come a long way

Oh, I've come a long way

Oh, I've come a long way

From home

But I'm not out of the woods

Wondering if I should

Take shelter from the sunshine on my toes

Not out of the woods

Wondering if I could

Build me a fire and burn my only clothes

Burn my only clothes!

Now and then my hands get numb

I lay down everything I've done

Is this all that I can do?

Is this all that I can do?

Blood and bone aren't built to last

And I'm scared it's all I'll ever have

Is this all that I can do?

Is this all that I can do?

Oh, I've come a long way

Oh, I've come a long way

Oh, I've got a long way

To go

I'm not out of the woods

Wondering if I should

Take shelter from the sunshine on my toes

Not out of the woods

Wondering if I could

Build me a fire and burn my only clothes

Burn my only clothes
