Tough mama |
|
Meat shaking on your bones |
|
I'm gonna go down to the river and get some stones |
|
Sister's on the highway with that steel drivin' crew |
|
Papa's in the big house, his working days are through |
|
Tough mama |
|
Can I blow a little smoke on you. |
|
Dark beauty |
|
Won't you move it on over and make somme room ? |
|
It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom |
|
Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise |
|
You came through it all the way flying through the skies |
|
Dark beauty |
|
With that long night's journey in you eyes. |
|
Sweet Goddess |
|
Born of a blinding light and a changing wind |
|
Now don't be modest, you know who you are and where you've been |
|
Jack, the cowboy, went up north, he's buried in your past |
|
The lone wolf went out drinking, that was over pretty fast |
|
Sweet Goddess |
|
Your perfect stranger's coming in at last. |
|
Silver angel |
|
With the badge of the lonesome road written on your sleeve |
|
I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would receive |
|
Today on the countryside it was a hotter than a crotch |
|
I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch |
|
Sweet Goddess |
|
It must be time to carve another notch. |
|
I'm crestfallen |
|
The world of illusion is at my door |
|
I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore |
|
The prison walls are crumbling, there is no end in sight |
|
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite |
|
Sweet beauty |
|
Meet me at the border late tonight. |
