Randy Travis – Before You Kill Us All Lyrics
Must be doing something wrong baby I don’t know
But the goldfish are floating at the top of the bowl
And the dog, he won’t eat, he just lays around
All night long he makes a lonesome sound
I know I had it coming and it’s all my fault
But baby come back before you kill us all
The way the plants are dying, you’d swear it’s fall
Looks just like autumn up and down the hall
And I talk to them baby like you’re supposed to do
But they’re tired of hearing about me missing you
And I know you told me not to call
But baby come back before you kill us all
Well it’s a desperate situation,
I got a strong will to survive
But if this place is any indication
I may not make it out alive
Well it’s an eerie feeling in the still of the night
Knowing that the cat’s down to three more lives
Well you’ve turned us all into nervous wrecks
We just sit around and wonder who’s gonna be next
And I know I had it coming and it’s all my fault
But baby come back before you kill us all
Baby come back before you kill us all, (baby come back)
Baby come back before you kill us all (baby come back)
(Baby come back)…
