Down By the Dam - REO Speedwagon

Ambush on her body, down by the dam

She wasn’t afraid of anybody until, down by the dam

Criminal running from the law,

Hiding in the high grass

The lady saw death from a mescaline high

High in the high grass

And the police ain’t never around

When you need them,

But the criminal’s ready to pounce

If you get near him

Vigilante fires, the flames are gettin' higher

Down by the dam

Temper’s gettin' hot oh there’s blood for the pot,

Down by the dam
