Baby, can I drive your car home

I lost my keys, I gotta get out of Oklahoma

I can hear them barking as I sing

Cause the hounds of heaven are after me

Walked upstairs with a friend, and we got confused

I forgot where my home is, it's hot as Houston

I can hear them swimming in the Buffalo Bayou

Cause the hounds of heaven can't stop 'til they're inside you

Now the hounds of heaven have captured me

They stole my soul and they set me free

Now the towns they're headed, to where you stay

Just a matter of time, you can't run away

It's too late

It's too late

And the hounds won't wait

Oh, I sealed my fate

A long, long time ago

Baby, won't you kiss my friends goodbye

Won't see them again 'til we're all in the sky

Run and hide, and tell my mama that I love her

I'm doing fine, just dancing on a thin cloud cover

And now the hounds of heaven have captured me

They stole my soul and they set me free

And now the towns they're headed, to where you stay

Just a matter of time, you can't run away

It's too late

It's too late

I'm gone
