Lyrics

Now it's so cold in your doorway that I can hardly breathe
You know I wanna lay down but I'm afraid I'll freeze
I've spent my last lone dollar getting in the shape that I'm in
And runnin' from the border just as fast as they can
Well, last september I was on a roll
Now I'm out here trying to save my soul

You've got the cure, you hold the key
You've got the remedy
Once I was blind, now I see
You got the remedy

I believe you got in something just like a stingray
And when you turn on your moves you put the hurt on me
Well, I might get better but I won't get well
Until I'm over the line and I'm under your spell
I'm like a spider crawlin' up your wall
Hear something funny, it's my matin' call

You've got the cure, you hold the key
You've got the remedy
Once I was blind, now I see
You got the remedy

Been knocking on your window, a-peeking through the blinds
Honey, come here a-runnin', won't you take your time
And now I ain't no preacher man, I ain't no preacher's son
But I'll be singing hallelujah when I see you come
I left my mind at the fork in the road
I' m out here haulin' a heavy load

You've got the cure, you hold the key
You've got the remedy
Once I was blind, now I see
You got the remedy

You've got the cure, you hold the key
You've got the remedy
It goes to show
It's plain to see
You got the remedy
