Something Goes Awry

(Verse 1) Down in the holler, under the moonlight, A band of brothers, we'll set things right. With our hearts on fire and our minds so keen, We'll pull off the heist of every hillbilly's dream. (Chorus) But every time we try, Something goes awry. The sheriff's on our tail, And we're bound to fail. Oh Lord, won't you hear our plea? Help us out of this calamity. (Verse 2) We gathered 'round, made our plans with care, But fate had other ideas, it just ain't fair. With a slip and a stumble, and a stumble again, Our heist goes down the drain, just like the rain. (Chorus) But every time we try, Something goes awry. The dogs start to bark, And we're left in the dark. Oh Lord, won't you hear our plea? Help us out of this calamity. (Bridge) From the whiskey in our flasks to the mud on our boots, We're a mess of misfortune, singing the blues. But we'll keep on trying, we won't give in, Even if our luck just won't spin. (Verse 3) Through the thicket and the briar, we make our way, Hoping this time things will go our way. But the chickens start squawking, the cows start to moo, Our heist turns into a barnyard hullabaloo. (Chorus) But every time we try, Something goes awry. The rooster starts crowing, And our plans start slowing. Oh Lord, won't you hear our plea? Help us out of this calamity. (Outro) So here we are, in a mess once more, But we'll keep on trying, that's for sure. Though our heist may never come to be, We'll always be brothers, wild and free.
