All Our Deeds (Sure Find Their Ways)
Jackie, get yourself up
Your coffee and your gun
Are right there on the table
The hat and gloves are dried out
Find your feet
It's an hour till sunrise
You grab my coat
And warm the truck up
I meet you in the front yard
Morning has come
All our deeds
Sure find their ways

Mama said you're thinking
And talking of believing
Eager for a new life
It was something about the east
And its urban streets
Well, is that true?
You're, "Daddy, don't disown me
I know we've got these duties
I know you've got a true heart
But I'm so fogged out
Just 22
Wanna find my way"

Jackie, can't you hold on
Just another year
Another couple, three heists
You know I'm getting feeble
And weaker daily
I need you here
I never wished a life of crime
For a father and a daughter
But here we are
See, Jackie, can't you hold on
Just another year
I need you here

And oh, I park it on the side street
You signal from the front walk
If the coast is clear
I give you several minutes
I wait here as the getaway
Just twitching and keeping watch
As you were getting out you said
"Let's keep it to the small roads
Until we've got the state line"
It was then that you said
So clear
"I love you, Dad"

You busted out the side door
We sped out to the west
As the evening froze over
That's when you broke the silence
Tears in your eyes
And a shaking voice, you said
"I never doubt your true love
I never doubt your strong heart
I never doubt your true soul
But I'm so fogged out
Just 22
Feeling so fogged out"

I'm racing against my own heart
Racing against my own heart
Racing against my own heart
Racing against my own heart
Racing against my own heart
I'm racing against my own heart
