(Chorus) * 2 (Verse 2) (Chorus) *2 Let the critics wonder Better talk the tomahawk talk Burn a tattoo on your chest Everything is so perfect Everything's real high class Just like a crazy Baptist Chasing til the afternoon Oh, I caught hatchet on Hiawatha Avenue Chorus: Let the critics wonder Let the critics talk Don’t the critics know what it’s all about? Don’t the critics know what it’s all about? Let them talk their tomahawk talk Burn a tattoo on your chest Everything is so perfect Everything's real high class (Chorus) Let the last night be the longest I walked the last mile home In this heart was born a shame Loving you no longer No matter what I tried The feeling shared tonite keeps coming back to mind I’ll find an old barroom, Settle in for good, Forget about the past Close behind me No matter what I tried The feeling shared tonite keeps coming back to mind Chorus: Westbound train is leaving, darling can’t you see?
