Where

Standing in the doorway

Standing in the doorway, asking why, Yeah why?

I want her so badly,

I want her so badly to know I’ve got to go

Down that road

To save my soul

Sing it to me softly

Sing it to me softly, I said oh oh

This place has got quite little for me

I must part with good company

I got to go south, I’ve got to go west

I’ve got to be free, free From the rest

Drowning in love,

Drowning in love And I’m drunk Yeah I’m drunk

Where will you go,

Where will you go, Girl I don’t know, I don’t know

Far, far from my home,

from my home

Turned Wild

Oh my child, oh my child

I fear you

have turned wild

Oh my child

Heart gone black, heart gone black

Turn to the forest

Don’t look back

Heart gone black - Hit that road.

Dig your hole, dig your hole

Under the tree

Save your soul

honey dig your hole

Oh my child (Oh my child)

Oh my child (Oh my child)

I fear you (I fear you)

Have turned wild

Oh my child

I’ve got a blade too real in my pocket

He’s been drinking all night long

He’s been thinking about that woman

He’s got some devilish deeds going on tonight

And I’ll creep in through her bedroom door

He watched sleep with her head on the floor

She’s been messing around all over town

He makes not a sound as I slip under her gown tonight

He whispers he loves her and she started moan

He watched breathe Yeah, but not for long

He touched her face if she knew how I feel

He kissed her throat with the side of my steel tonight

Down to the river but the water’s too low

He went to the field yeah, but that farmer would know

Down to the desert and I dug up that hole

And tossed her down, down, down Into that Hell below tonight

When I went walking out on the devil’s sand

The desert she whispered and took me by my hand

She led me through the split in my mind

And when I ain’t with her My heart aches in 3/4 time

The wind it howls like a lady moan

The wind it howls oh, like a lady moan

Well I can’t be too sure

But I hear her calling me home

I lay me down atop this stone I been tamed

I lay me down atop this stone I been tamed

Oh and before my two eyes

I see her dancing in the flames

The storm it's clapping all across these mighty bluffs

The storm it's clapping all across these mighty bluffs

Oh and she is my diamond

And I am her rough

When I went walking out on the devil’s sand

The desert she whispered and took me by my hand

She led me through the split in my mind

And as my body withers I pray she hold me when I die

So I went down to get my sister from Rainelle town

She fell in a pot of trouble, wasn’t easily found

So I asked me around, oh yeah I asked me around

I said have you seen a soul black as Greenbriar coal

(Yeah she been found)

Down by meadow river, down on the track

She’d been tied up real good, she was laying on her back

She’d been foolin’ around, She’d been messin’ around

And I could hear them rails howlin’ with about 9 1/2 million pounds

(yeah but not my little sis sounded just like this you ready?)

So I said “hey there little sister, what have you done?”

She said “ I stole some money, oh brother how I run

But they caught up with me. Yeah they caught up with me

I said I’d rather be strewn about these rails then put down in Plemmons Cemetery”

(Yeah, not with all them liars and crooks ain’t that right?)

So I untied her tired limbs just in the knick of time

And as the train flew by we got some fightin’ on our mind

So we head back to town, yeah we head back to town

And best believe when we caught up with them two men

How we gunned ‘em down, yeah we gunned ‘em on down

Oh and we buried their bodies where they ain’t never gonna be found

So I grabbed my six shooter and horse I came in on

Little sis on the back with her pump action shotgun

We got the hell out of dodge, we got the hell out of town

Yeah because little ol’ West Virginia don’t like us coming around

The devil he lives inside me

The devil he walks beside me

He’s comin’, comin’ for ya

He’s gonna, gonna get ya, ahh

But love she grew inside me

Love walks side beside me

And I watched her die

I kissed her eyes, eyes

Oh me oh my, oh me oh my, oh me oh my, oh me oh my

Spoke the rattlesnake on his deathbed lie

deathbed lie, deathbed lie, deathbed lie

Down to the Styx

The hooves on the bricks

Theres arms reaching for me

To pull me below

Me below, me below, me below

Jump in the boat To Hell I go, Hell I go

Striking a deal

With the fallen son

And he’s trying to tell me that I ain’t the one

Ain’t the one, ain’t the one, ain’t the one

Unshackle my darlin’

From your walls

She ain’t nothing but a shadow to you that’s all

to you that’s all, to you that’s all, to you that’s all

Consider yourself

Fairly warned

Or I’ll have the sirens sing you a storm

You a storm, you a storm, you a storm, you a storm

Well it don’t bother me none to call you a thief

Yeah you stole from me damn near everything

My time and my lovin’ and damn near all my money

Kissing you turned with the seasons change

Your lips taste like rain what a filthy exchange

Watch me burn with a forest fire

You got me fleeing my home before the sun rises

Birds of prey they take flight

Yeah they wander by day but they’re huntin’ by night

Yeah I’m huntin’ by night

Honey, where you been

When I’m cold and tired

I need to warm my bones

Beside your fire

But you ain’t home, no

Lying on our bed

I’ve got these crazy thoughts

Pumping through my head

Steppin’ to our porch

And I see red, I see red

Honey, I know where you been

Honey, you ain’t too sweet

Honey, I know where you been

Honey, you ain’t too sweet, no

Honey

Honey

Honey, I know where you been

Honey, you ain’t too sweet- no no

This is the place where lovers come

I’m packing my bags because I am done with this town

I’m taking the first train out

The rumble from this lonesome train

Makes me repeat the same words in my brain

And those words are driving me from sane

Nashville you’ve got something fine But it ain’t for me

You give it to other men

But it's too far from my reach, oh

Back home to Salt Lake City

Where the water is clean And the air is shitty alight

I won’t be fooled twice - Take it away

Well she cries upstairs

Weeping into the night

My widows’ leaking the sound

Though it's locked up tight

And her hounds got me wishin’

That I packed up my trunk

When I was low on mercy

And I was rich on luck

Now ’m gone with the breeze

From a summer’s eve

And I’m crawlin’ like a worm

Trying not to be seen

But your bird fly down

And she’s hungry for meat

She got the taste for love

From a bad, bad seed

And my lungs breath first

And my feet have been worse

‘Cause I’ve been walkin’ this line

Like the man in the hearse

And I’m tired of lying still

I need to straighten the wheel

I’m pushin’ on the gas

I’m gonna wreck this steel

Blood Black

It's the sound of the bass beating me to death

And it's the smell of the gin on my breath

And it’s the sway of the belt wrapped around your hip

It's the anticipation from a zipper unzip

It's the lipstick stain on the edge of your glass

Yeah, it’s the pattern of your smoke as you blow on past

And It's the shine of the street lamp on your blood black hair

It's the rhythm of your high heels hiking up my stairs

It's a dream

Gonna make you scream

Oh it's when you drive the way you shift them gears

Makes my life shorter year by year

And it's the bottom of the arch at the small of your back

Yeah you’re a cruel, cruel woman with the heart to match

Yeah it’s how you sit at the foot of my bed

Yeah it's the cold pressed pillow propped behind my head

And it's the voodoo you spit out of your lips

Yeah its tucking me in with your midnight kiss

Gonna make you...
