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.
|
