Tough Mama
Meat shakin' 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 workin' days are through.
Tough Mama
Can I blow a little smoke on
you?
Dark Beauty
Won't you move it on over and make some 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, flyin' through the skies.
Dark Beauty
With
that long night's journey in your 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 comin' in at
last.
Silver Angel
With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in 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 crumblin', there is no end in sight,
I've gained some recognition but I lost
my appetite.
Dark Beauty
Meet me at the border late tonight | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
