Whipping Boy

If i told you once, then i told you twice

That i would have paid just about any price

Just to see him jump, just to see him laugh

I would have washed in the blood of an innocent man

Let the whipping boy ride

The boy says to the wolf, "you're gonna be my dog"

The boy ties the wolf to a fence post

The wolf says, "boy, if you're gonna be my man

Let's see how you fit in those britches"

I found a river that doesn't run to the sea

I found a river through the dead lands

I found a river that's been beaten by the sun

But a river that never did surrender to the sands

Let the whipping boy ride

I want to see him
