Lyrics

downtown glows like a carnival, and streets shine soaked with rain... I took a Greyhound south to Baton Rouge, and you met me at the gate...

a northern man in a southern town, is its own unwritten crime... you can't foresee the danger here, until you cross the line... until you cross that line...

and it weighs heavy down on me... heavy down on me...

there's a mansion standing to the left of me, and a shotgun house on my right... there's a wall, a gate, and a world between, and Government St. divides... Government St. divides...

and it weighs heavy down on me... heavy down on me...

on a Greyhound north from Baton Rouge, with a ticket priced one way... years from now we might understand, what we left there at the gate... when you left me at the gate...

and it weighs heavy down on me... heavy down on me... heavy down on me... heavy down...
