Well it's hard to keep a secret in a one horse town You can build your house of cards But they'll burn it to the ground Oh, I've been stuck in Thornside all my life I was making my escape when a standoff at sundown And an itchy trigger finger left me haunted by the sound I got it from a bullet, but I wear it like a badge I've been waiting for a break in the clouds I've been searching for a face in the crowd I've been waiting for this thorn in my side To set me free Preacher said, "Now son it's time you've got To lay that burden down, cause a well Without the water's just a hole in the ground The ghosts you feared your whole life Are gone without a trace what you're Running from in Thornside, might be your Saving grace" I've been waiting for a break in the clouds I've been searching for a face in the crowd I've been waiting for this thorn in my side To set me free Set me free, come on and rescue me Set me free when the waters are rising Set me free, come on and rescue me Set me free cause the waters are rising Free, free, set me free Free, free, set me free I've been waiting for a break in the clouds I've been searching for a face in the crowd I've been waiting for this thorn in my side To set me free Set me free, come on and rescue me Set me free when the waters are rising Set me free, come on and rescue me Set me free cause the waters are rising Free, free, set me free
