I'll wave the white flag if tomorrow you'll take me

Out where the bluebirds sing

You'll have to hold my hand

I braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus
And you smoke too many American Spirits

Watching a morning dove

Fighting the urge to run

He said he was gonna protect me

Thought I was safe and sound

Red cheeks in the face of a sinner

Blood on the hunting ground

And I take it all back, ooh-ooh

But the cage was too small
