Lyrics
Don't Tell Me Now-music and lyrics Jon Clark © 2014 Row North Music
If you're thinking, of doing your time
belly up, confess your crime
make amends, take it head on, just
don't____tell me now...just
don't____tell me now.
Bit-a-trouble, drag'in you down
It's your life, it comes around
Who would know, the stripes are yours, just
don't____tell me now...just
don't____tell me now.
Last I knew you, still had the sense
to call the shots, to see it though...
Can't you see now, the rules to play
It's not your hand, it's not your day...
Saw it com'in, and you know why
They told you so, to late to cry
Pack your bags, you're going down, just
don't____tell me now...just
don't____tell me now
Watch your back, until you see
the brightest light, there'll ever be
it's a shame, you can't go back, just
don't____tell me now...just
don't____tell me now
Last I knew you, still had the sense
to call the shots, to see it though...
Can't you see now, the rules to play
It's not your hand, it's not your day...
