The Power Lines Are Down

Lyrics by Ronny Criss                        Copyright2005

I turned the wrong way on a one way hoping that I wouldn’t get caught

But if I see those lights in the mirror, I’ll do what’s gotta be done

I was down and she came around so I carried on the male façade

When the dawn is knocking at your door, You do what’s gotta be done

You do what’s gotta be done (3xs)

And I don’t like it, no it doesn’t make me warm

I despise it, I know I caused you harm

Like power lines coming down in a storm

A fire’s gonna come, and you may hate it

But you do what’s gotta be done

And I held on tight to a dream light that just wasn’t meant to be

And when you see the end of the road, you do what gotta be done

And even though you know what was will never be seen

You have to take what you’ve learned and do what’s gotta be done

You do what’s gotta be done (3xs)

And I don’t like it, no it doesn’t make me warm

I despise it, I know I caused you harm

Like power lines coming down in a storm

A fire’s gonna come, and you may hate it
