Big, black Ford on the side of the road
Slumped over by the break in the trees
Hot gray sky, ash and pine
Yet winter on the breeze
I went for a walk in the woods
and I never did come back
Your hustler finds the best in everyone
They'll speak to your darkest hour
Indeed, to your very soul
They'll cover you in lies but they'll cover you in gold
And you'd do anything for them
So I went for a walk in the woods
and I never did come back
Run and tell the law, why don't you
Then meet me under that St. John's Bridge
where no one ever goes
I buried you a bottle with a locket and a map
I hope you'll find it if you ever come back
Come back
Please come back
Justice comes in all kinds of ways
The morning sun came up, blinded me to failings
that might have owned me before yesterday
Ain't a single thing the same as yesterday
So I went for a walk in the woods
and I never did come back
Run and tell the law, why don't you
Then meet me under that St. John's Bridge
where no one ever goes
I buried you a bottle with a locket and a map
I hope you'll find it if you ever come back
Come back
Please come back
