Neighbor the Traitor
You broke through the doors
You smashed out the windows
You killed a good man who stood in your way
Well you plotted and planned to kidnap a governor
But your blinding arrogance gave it away
You gave it all away
After all these lifetimes you've finally found your man
You put your loyalty to fealty when you put on that fuckin red hat
But forgiveness comes costly when you've proven that your honor comes last
And you gave it all away
And it ain't coming back
Tell me how do you treat a traitor out where you're living?
Well wherever it is it's no place to make demands
You put your family in danger trying to buy a revolution
You know you could have been a man who built a life with his hands
But you gave it all away
And you ain't welcome back
Don't go singing those words if you don't know the wisdom
You've already unfairly staked your claim
Fly any flag you want it won't even matter
Cause just being a southern man don't make you Ronnie Van Zandt
You gave it all away
Don't you ever come back
You smashed out the windows
You killed a good man who stood in your way
Well you plotted and planned to kidnap a governor
But your blinding arrogance gave it away
You gave it all away
After all these lifetimes you've finally found your man
You put your loyalty to fealty when you put on that fuckin red hat
But forgiveness comes costly when you've proven that your honor comes last
And you gave it all away
And it ain't coming back
Tell me how do you treat a traitor out where you're living?
Well wherever it is it's no place to make demands
You put your family in danger trying to buy a revolution
You know you could have been a man who built a life with his hands
But you gave it all away
And you ain't welcome back
Don't go singing those words if you don't know the wisdom
You've already unfairly staked your claim
Fly any flag you want it won't even matter
Cause just being a southern man don't make you Ronnie Van Zandt
You gave it all away
Don't you ever come back
