Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Before I'll be your dog son
I'll see you in the ground
Panama won't let me
Let me down

Some folks in this city
They've been livin' way too large
The meek are in the jailhouse
The wicked are in charge
The truth is tarred and feathered
Now they've run it out of town
But Panama won't let me
Let me down

Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Before I'll be your dog son
I'll see you in the ground
Panama won't let me
Let me down

The king is in the counting house
The bees are out the hive
They're gonna dust the crops until
There's nothin' left alive
When it all goes crazy
Well you won't find me around
Panama won't let me
Let me down

Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Before I'll be your dog son
I'll see you in the ground
Panama won't let me
Let me down

The story's being written
And someday it will be told
I'm sittin' on a mountain top
Watchin' it unfold
My love is in the wilderness
Howlin' like a hound but
Panama won't let me
Let me down

Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Panama won't let me down
It won't let me down
Before I'll be your dog son
I'll see you in the ground
Panama won't let me
Let me down
