Jesse Woods — Hounds of Heaven

Baby, can I drive your car home
I lost my keys, I gotta get out of Oklahoma
I can hear them barking as I sing
Cause the hounds of heaven are after me

Walked upstairs with a friend, and we got confused
I forgot where my home is, it's hot as Houston
I can hear them swimming in the buffalo bayou
Cause the hounds of heaven can't stop 'til they're inside you

Now the hounds of heaven have captured me
They stole my soul and they set me free
Now the towns they're headed, to where you stay
Just a matter of time, you can't run away
It's too late
It's too late
