: **DO YOUR TIME** **Verse 1** She was twenty-one in the summertime sun, Living too fast, always on the run, Black leather jacket, boots on her feet, A little bit of trouble walking down Main Street. The boys all talked, the girls rolled their eyes, She could spot a snake from a mile away, She'd been burned before, but she never broke, She carried her scars like a cloud of smoke. **Pre-Chorus** They said, "Girl, you better slow it down." She said, "I ain't living for this town." **Chorus** Break it, don't fake it, Go ahead, motherfucker, take your shot, You can knock me down tonight, But tomorrow I'll be what you're not. Burn your bridges, cross that line, Every sinner pays in time, You can run, but you can't hide, When the truth comes knocking, do your time. **Verse 2** Friday night and the whiskey flowed, Some folks laughed while others sold their souls, Promises made in the neon light, Gone by the morning, gone by daylight. She saw the liars and the users too, The ones who smile while they're using you, But she stood tall when the smoke cleared out, And left no room for fear or doubt. **Pre-Chorus** They said, "Girl, you're playing with fire." She said, "Watch me climb a little higher." **Chorus** Break it, don't fake it, Go ahead, motherfucker, take your shot, You can knock me down tonight, But tomorrow I'll be what you're not. Burn your bridges, cross that line, Every sinner pays in time, You can run, but you can't hide, When the truth comes knocking, do your time. **Bridge** I've been called crazy, I've been called wild, I've been called everything Since I was a child. But I ain't backing down, I ain't changing my mind, And the ones who crossed me Better watch their behinds. **Final Chorus** Break it, don't fake it, Go ahead, motherfucker, take your shot, I've walked through hell and I ain't forgot. You can curse my name, You can tell your lies, But you can't kill something that survives. The wheel keeps turning, Hear it chime, Justice comes right on time, You can run, but you can't hide, When the truth comes knocking, do your time. **Outro** Summertime's gone, But the lesson remains, Some people change, Some stay the same. And if you're looking for mercy, You better pray you'll find, 'Cause when the truth comes knocking, You'll do your time.
