From the recording Better Than Bootleg, Vol. 3
Lyrics
i thought i'd take cover
steal me a lover
go under cover yeah that was my plan
but it was just a distraction
a knee jerk reaction
a scare crow infraction, i did it again
slumber won't come it escapes me
the breeze in the desert awakes me
i know where i'm am meant to go
chorus:
you may see a flash of light
that's me on the fire tonight
i will not hide
i will take my place
destiny i'll face
at the devil's side
tonight
my renegade fortune
is out of proportion
i don't like the notion the reckonings come
so i'll gather my senses
build my defenses
pay the expenses and hit the ground runnin
you know me
and the darkness i hide like a thief
but we know where i'm meant to be
(chorus)
i accept the consequences
my eyes are open wide
i'd rather go down a fighter than
to keep on tryin to hide
i'll let out a holler
hold my head taller
cash in my dollars
and play them to ride
(chorus)
