v.1
I know there's nothin' to say, someone has taken my place
When times go bad, when times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

I know I got nothin' on you, I know there's nothin' to do
When times go bad, you can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

Instr. Brk. 8bar

v.2
One thing I think you should know, I ain't gonna miss you when you go
Been down so long, been tossed around enough
Oh, couldn't you just let me go down
And do my stuff

I know you're hopin to find someone gonna give you peace of mind
When times go bad, times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

Instr. Brk. 8bar
I'm just second hand news
I'm your second hand news
