Lyrics
Knock On Wood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They didn't need a driver
They walked a thousand miles
He left her on the roadside
He thumbed himself a ride
He swore he'd never leave her, he meant it till he did
He swore he'd never leave her, he meant it till he did
Before you say you're lucky, before you say he's good
Knock on wood
Broke you promise, broke your word
He's climbing up a ladder
Heaven had begun
He's found another angel
She'll take him down a rung or two
She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will
She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will
Before you say you're lucky, before you say she's good
Knock on wood
She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will
She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will
Before you say you're lucky, before you say she's good
Knock on wood
Broke your promise - Knock on wood
Broke your word - Knock on wood
