C.w. Stoneking The Thing I Done Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I roll like thunder
Go like dynamite
All flesh and bone, I come
Old death long by my side
In from the storm
This scornful breath about my tongue

[Chorus]
Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 2]
I took my chances
Took what chance I got
Lord know, my hands is tied
This all-binding ancient blood
There flood my mind images
Blinding as the sun

[Chorus]
Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 3]
Can't tell my future
I can't tell my past
It's only eluding fate
That makes my journey's task
That weigh down upon me Out on the run

[Chorus]
Oh, the thing I done

[Verse 4]
The band are playing
Bathed in electrical light
But I'm all at sea away
Under the shade of that dark fright
Know and I never had a chance
I come bound to all I done

[Verse 5]
You hear me singing
Know my time ain't long
Desirous, this song I bring
On these unresting bones
Long ways from home, I stumbled
Long, since time begun
Oh, the thing I done

[Chorus]
Oh, the thing I done
Oh, the thing I done
Oh, the thing I done
