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,
We can go ahead and chase them.
You find us sitting around this table in the dark,
Satan's in the corner and he’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 every day,
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,
We 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.
