I tried to be an honest man
Always doing things the best I can
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
Travel 'round this promised land
Singing songs for the average man
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
I turned around for a minute
And you stabbed me right in the back
I tried to be an honest man
Always doing things the best I can
But your evil ways have cast a spell over me
No idea who you are
Don't know how you got this far
But you got me blinded and now I can't see
Change in thе wind pushed me right off the track
I turnеd around for a minute
And you stabbed me right in the back
You've taken all my money and taken up my time
Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire
Your heart must be cold 'cause I'm sensing danger
Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger

I tried to be an honest man
Know you're doing the best you can
To push me and pull me and turn me back around
Travelled 'round this promised land
You broke me with the back of your hand
And your evil spell's tryna bring me back down
Back down
Change in the wind pushed me right off the tracks
I turned around for a minute
And you stabbed me right in the back

Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger
Caught by a stranger
I was hit by your words and it's over
