Indigo Girls Faye Tucker lyrics

On the night they killed Faye Tucker
I was gambling away my last dime
And I pulled down the lever
And I sent up a prayer
That my love would not be denied
That my love would not be denied
Now roll out the head of Faye Tucker
And never you mind what they say
Well you may be reborn
But it just got you scorned
That's what you'll take to your grave
That's what you'll take to your grave
Well mister wants you to live now
And the governor wants you to fry
And whatever it was

That you thought might occur
They got something else on their mind
Well they got something else on their mind
Well if you live they're gonna make you a campaigner
If you die they're gonna make you a grave
Yeah, either way it goes down
That your life's not your own
You know that's why killing don't pay
I said that's why killing don't pay
No it don't
I said what did you learn Faye Tucker
Hey, what will you take from my world
Well if mercy could prove us
Nothing would move us
To rise above just being cruel
To rise above just being cruel
