“THE GRASS GOT EYES” DA’ OUTLAW — CHAPTER FIVE | Performed by Da’ Outlaw Written by TWELVE 12Gauge858 Music | October 8, 2026 Intro [Outlaw Saint — spoken] Snake, Desire, Lady Temptation… Three sets of eyes. [Da’ Outlaw — spoken] And Zoec and Amy… Still held captive. [Bella SNORTS] [Verse 1 Morning broke on Mercy Creek Snake had vanished in the night Jennifer’s mare refused the crossing Sarah caught a rooftop light Stephanie found the wagon tracks James heard hoofbeats out of time MarieP watched the windows Spyder found a second line Saint looked toward two empty saddles Outlaw’s jaw went hard as stone Two Compadres held somewhere And neither one was coming home [Chorus THE GRASS GOT EYES! THE DIRT GOT EARS! Somebody’s been studying Everything we fear! THE GRASS GOT EYES! BUT BELLA DON’T LIE! You can hide behind the tall grass But she knows what’s on the other side! [Compadres] WATCH ’EM! WATCH ’EM! [Bella — SCRRRRAPE!] [Verse 2 Bella turned toward the eastern road Where no fresh wagon tracks should be Jennifer saw a broken bridle Sarah found a mark upon a tree Spyder checked an empty wagon MarieP pulled the blanket wide James found letters cut in timber Stephanie watched the other side Saint reached beneath the axle Found two names beneath the grime ZOEC… AMY… [Da’ Outlaw — spoken] Somebody wants us finding this. [Chorus THE GRASS GOT EYES! THE DIRT GOT EARS! Somebody’s been studying Everything we fear! THE GRASS GOT EYES! BUT BELLA DON’T LIE! You can hide behind the tall grass But she knows what’s on the other side! [Compadres] WATCH ’EM! WATCH ’EM! [Bella — SCRRRRAPE!] [Breakdown [Outlaw Saint] What Bella say?! [Compadres] WATCH ’EM! [Da’ Outlaw] What we do?! [Compadres] WAIT! [Bella — sharp warning whinny] [Verse 3 Sarah said the note was planted Saint said somebody knew our trail Outlaw turned the paper over Found a warning by the nail “Stop watching where you’re going. Watch the ones who bring you home.” Bella faced the road behind them One more horse was coming on [Outro — Music falls to low cello and wind] [Outlaw Saint — whispered] Outlaw… That ain’t one of ours. [Da’ Outlaw — spoken] Don’t turn around. [Hoofbeats approach] Saint… Count our horses. [Bella SNORTS] [Absolute silence]
