[Verse]

Well my sweet aunt said she'd leave me

For that southern seed

To build herself a new life in those

Florida Keys

And I was sittin' with my elbow dug in

To my Knees

At the edge of the bed

With a knife blood red

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

Won't you save my soul

And if you get it back to me

I'll pay you somethin bold

Cause I got bad remains

In the car I ride

Never had enough brain

Enough brain to cure my high

[Verse}

And I got one thousand miles

In this dirty room

And it's shining blue

And the engine's moaning through

And in my side is mother Mary scrеamin'

In my ear

And cane is comin' down

In a golden sphеre

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

No I don't wanna die

But my wipers can't keep up with this

Stormin' Sky

And I know too well

I got it comin' to me

I'm just so tired of all that pain

That comes along with being free

[Verse]

And I'm stranded in Virginia

At a cheap motel

With a burden weighin' down

Into the depths of hell

And no they never told this yank about the

Dirty South

Where the family gets you first

Before the law can find out

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

Won't you keep me free

Because it seems in my past

Well it's catchin' up with me

Oh and I know too well

I should've stayed alone

Cause now I'm far from home

With only a bag full of bones

[Verse]

And I was woken in the morning to a

Knockin' at my door

Said there's two mean lookin' men waiting for you on that

First floor

So if you come down the stairs

When you change that lock

Just meet 'em in the lobby

I says he'd really love to talk

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

[?]

It seems this man downstairs is waiting with a

Loaded gun

Oh and I know too well

I been a bad bad man

But I do not pretend to die

All by another man's hand

[Verse}

And so I flew down the highway with a

Voice in my head

That said there ain't no fear in dying

When you are better off dead

And on my conscience had caught up to me

My mind was now so clear

And if it's justice I'm deserving

Well it won't be justice that I fear

[Chorus]

All 95 North

Won't you take my life

For I've been a bad man

For when I slayed my wife

And though I know I got a grave

That's waiting for us up in Maine

I highly doubt I'll make it there

Before [?]

[Verse]

Cause in my rear view mirror

Is a rusted Chevrolet

And it's got men in every seat

And out of state plates

And they were tailing me for hours

Though I tried to let them pass

For all my trials will be over

For once I'm run up outta gas

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

Hope I treated you well

It seems this truck will be behind me

At the Fredericksburg Shell

And I got four bad men

That'd like to take my life

They each got two shotty guns

And I got nothing but a knife

[Chorus]

Aw 95 North

Won't you shake my hand

And if this rain ever stops

Well I will be a better man

And I know too well

I got a heart to hold

And Imma hold it near

And Imma hold it dear
