"Fear Country" lyrics - T BONE BURNETT

The cat's out of the bag and it ain't going back
Your plan has hit a snag it has fallen through the crack

I got a tell on you
I got a tell on you

This is fear country
This is fear country
This is a fear country

Five years of mercy and two days of grace
It only took a minute to fall on your face

I got a tell on you
I got a tell on you

This is fear country
This is fear country
This is a fear country

Cowboy with no cattle warrior with no war
They don't make imposters like John Wayne anymore

This is fear country
This is fear country
This is fear country

Nobody knows what's going to happen
Nobody knows what's going on
Nobody knows what's coming down
But it's coming down
And it happens in a moment
It happens in a moment

Do this for me
Or risk eternal agony

This is fear country
This is fear country
And if you don't believe me I can prove it
This is fear country
This is fear country
If you don't believe me I can prove it
This is fear country
