Lyrics
DIRTY DEEDS WE DONE TO SHEEP
--J. Wrabek
1.
I threw away the chains and ropes
Someone’s dumpster got the knife
I don’t need them any more
I went out and got a life
Years ago I left the farm
But the mem’ries follow me
Things that make us what we are
Dirty deeds we done to sheep.
CHORUS
Dirty deeds we done to sheep
Cloud my nights and haunt my days
Should’ve known it wasn’t right
I’d have done it anyways
Learned a lot out in the barn
Sometimes lessons don’t come cheap
No escaping what we are
Dirty deeds done to sheep.
BRIDGE
How we waited months on end
Scared to death that there’d be kids
Wondering if they’d look like us
I’d have raised ‘em if they did
I ain’t proud of what I done
I hear ‘em screaming on the floor
I had promises to keep
I don’t make them any more.
CHORUS
Dirty deeds we done to sheep
Cloud my nights and haunt my days
Should’ve known it wasn’t right
I’d have done it anyways
Learned a lot out in the barn
Sometimes lessons don’t come cheap
No escaping what we are
Dirty deeds done to sheep.
2.
Please don’t tell ‘em I was by
Or that I think about them yet
I’m glad the marks are almost gone
They were young and they’ll forget
I have managed to get by
When nights are cold and I can’t sleep
I close my eyes and think of you
And dirty deeds we done to sheep.
CHORUS
Dirty deeds we done to sheep
Cloud my nights and haunt my days
Should’ve known it wasn’t right
I’d have done it anyways
Learned a lot out in the barn
Sometimes lessons don’t come cheap
No escaping what we are
Dirty deeds done to sheep.
REPEAT LAST 2 LINES OF CHORUS TO END
