Now, what did I tell you about coming around here?

With that painted on dress, and your golden tears

And I would trade all of your affections, so that you'd forget my name

Now if you don't know me when you look at my face

Moonshiners eyes, and my smoking halo, and you say

Well you better cut your hair boy it's time to buckle down

Oh, it's time to buckle down

Well all I know is that we're moving backwards

And the freedoms I'm losing well I sure as hell can't keep track of them

And we're all hiding out like shadows in the basement

Well you can go ahead and chase them

You find us sitting around this tablе in the dark

Satan's in the corner and hе's writing his memoirs

And I'm spending all of my time down at the corner bar

When I wake up I'm so god damn lonely everyday

Whether you're gone or next to me, well it doesn't matter either way

Maybe we can get together babe, it's time to buckle down

Oh, it's time to buckle down

Well all I know is that we're moving backwards

And the freedoms I'm losing well I sure as hell can't keep track of them

And we're all hiding out like shadows in the basement

Well you can go ahead and chase them

Oh, it's time to buckle down

Oh, it's time we buckle down

Oh, it's time to buckle down

Oh, it's time we buckle down

Said, it's time we buckle down

Oh, it's time we buckle down

Yes, it's time we buckle down

Oh, it's time we buckle down
