[Verse 1]

You were the only one who I could spill my guts out to

What you said to me when the men in blue come and took you away

But it's not your fault, your mama never thought you should know better

But don't you worry, Curt, I won't let them hurt you, I won't let them hurt you now

[Verse 2]

I remember when half dead said, ain't it all about where you're from, but really where you're at

So we gotta get past all that for now

But it's not your fault, your papa never thought to send a letter

You'd better hurry Curt, they've got this place surrounded

[Chorus]

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I won't let them hurt you now

[Verse 3]

I knew it was too late when I saw them peeking through the window

Maybe I can talk them down while you go slipping out the back door

I told you time and time again, it doesn't have to be like this

But no, there ain't nothing I can do, they've got this place surrounded

[Chorus]

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you

I ain't gonna let them through, I won't let them hurt you, I won't let them hurt you now

[Outro]

They've got this place surrounded, they've got this place surrounded

There's nothing I can do

They've got this place surrounded

(No, oh, no, oh)

They've got this place surrounded, there's nothing I can do

They've got this place surrounded, there's nothing I can do

They've got this place surrounded
