Jon, I can't go back to the hole again
I'm gonna keep my bag, I'm gonna keep my sins
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind

I can hear the dogs, I can hear the chains
And the blood gang thumping, I can feel their veins
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind

Oh Jon, I can't go back to that box again
There was a big black soul and it took me in
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind

Someday I'm gonna show you how it all went down
Oh, someday I'm gonna show you how it all went down
Did you ever find the needle or that letter?
Oh, that's a good one to know
Oh, that's a good one to know

I wanna die in the sun, not in a frying pan
And if it is the war, I will go down like a man
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind

I can hear the dogs, I can hear the chains
And the blood gang thumping, I can feel their veins
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind
I'm staying downwind
