So Far Gone

If you can’t help me, baby, you can go to hell.
There’s nothing you can say
That I can’t sing twice as well.
If a word would do the trick,
Honey, I’d feel better quick,
But a lie will leave me lonely,
And the truth, you just can’t tell.

If you can’t help me, baby, I’m staying down.
I’ll burn this place to ashes,
You and this whole goddamn town.
I could fall so fucking hard
That my soul would break apart.
And when they find me in Dakota,
I’ll have on your pageant crown.

I’m gonna get
So far gone, so far gone, oh, lord.
I’m gonna take
All I got and give it up.
I’m gonna get
So far gone, so far gone, oh, no,
You think time can heal a heart,
But you ain’t got one, not at all.

If you can’t save me, baby, head for the door.
Say all your goodbyes,
Read my last rites, then say no more.
When your preacher tells you love
Is a great gift from above,
Tell him all you did to me,
And watch his teardrops hit the floor.
