LITTLE BIG TOWN

- Bones Lyrics

What goes around comes around
Feel it breathin' down heavy on you
You made that bed you're layin' on
Deeds that you have done, now you can't undo

[Chorus:]
You've got bones in your closet
You've got ghosts in your town
Ain't no doubt, yeah, they're gonna come out
They're waiting for the sun to go down
You can't hide from your demons
Feel 'em all lurkin' around
You're runnin' scared 'cause you know they're out there
They're waiting for the sun to go down

It's a long hard row to hoe
When seeds that you sow grow by the wicked moon
Be sure your sins will find you out
Your past will hunt you down
And return to tell on you

[Chorus]

It all stands to reason
Every dog will have his day
But your day is leavin'
Better hold on tight
It comes around.

[Chorus]
