Change Your Ways or Die (The Buffalo Song) Songtext
von The Cactus Blossoms

When the river rises o′er her banks
Better make your home in a higher place
For if you stay down by the sand
You'll be washed away to another land
And when the mountains swim in the sea
Look around, you won′t find me
In the end, what's done is done
If you hear it comin', you won′t have to run
You′ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now, I'll tell you why The buffalo was here to stay
′Till a fool with a gun came and took him away
If you go too far, you can come back
When the river changes, so does the map
You've got to change your ways or die
If you listen now, I′ll tell you why
A lover's life is like a dream
Sycamore trees, peaches and cream
And if I could show you what I see
You′d take a chance, run away with me


A sip of whiskey gets your toes wet
If you dive too deep, you'll get caught in a net
Love and fire, burn to the core
I thought as I walked by the corner store
You've got to change your ways or die
If you listen now, I′ll tell you why
You′ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now, I'll tell you why
