Got your curled up lip And your clothes don’t fit So let your backbone slip And put your name on the list If the creek don’t rise, and the moon don’t shine And wakes no man I’ll take you there as fast as I can One step forward, two step back Won’t derail the plan Cos you know we can By way of Fat Sam Got your coal black bruise And your uptown shoes Got some backyard blues That you’re fixing to lose I gotta change my ways, she says And make my stand I’ll take you there as fast as I can If the rattlesnake shake won’t seem to break The rope you hang You know we still can By way of Fat Sam

Sleepy old Slim gone and caused a rift Preaching on the corner all day Took a minor fall for a major lift Hallelujah gonna make it ok But in time he’ll see It was the problem and the remedy Lisa sad lisa used to come around here Don’t ever see her no more Some high rollin' drifter come and stole her heart Heard they found it on the bathroom floor But in time she’ll see It was the problem and the remedy I’ll steal all the silver from your lover’s eyes Take it down Mexico way Ride a pale horse through the tainted town With a hundred ways to make you pay But in time you’ll see It was the problem and the remedy Used to make gold wherever I roamed Now it’s only grieving I see Maybe they’ll drag me all over the coals I hope they only crucify me But in time they’ll see I was the problem and the remedy

Don’t open that door Don’t answer your phone Don’t leave the light on Baby, you’re not home Just wait out the sunrise And forget the things we’ve done I’ll meet you just south of nowhere We’ll raise some sand and run I’ll shave my face You can dye your hair Get a silver tooth Honey, I don’t care Just keep your head down low Till well past the border line Meet you just south of nowhere We’ll leave all the scars behind Got no time for regrets Got no time for repose Just the way I always was, I suppose I got a bone-dry heart And ice in my veins, I swear Meet you just south of nowhere Maybe they’ll understand us there

Take another leaper, there’s nine hundred miles to go Trying to find a station on the busted old radio Dig a little deeper, keep the dust out of your eyes Dawn’s desolation, sure to make the hurricane rise Still talking to myself as the rolling clouds collide Scattershot across the great divide Ready up and don’t look back, cos they already made it clear Face don’t fit, don’t fit round here Your face don’t fit round here Just won’t quit, so we’ll make it clear Your face don’t round here Sometimes there’s a reason, sometimes it means nothing at all Who knows the difference when the darker ones come to call There’s blood in the water, static on the telephone line A fading transmission, lost between the dirt and the dial Still talking to myself as the rolling clouds collide Scattershot across the great divide Ready up and don’t look back, cos they already made it clear Face don’t fit, don’t fit round here Your face don’t fit round here Just won’t quit, so we’ll make it clear Your face don’t round here

Gallows Pole 03:11
Cold, shake and shiver Draggin’ on, this tired old soul of mine Cos I been sold down the river For loose change, one too many times Oh lord, I just can’t keep from crying I need a place where I can pray for what’s inside Or burn it down till the pages fall from the sky Could be going to Hell, you never can tell Gold, dust and silver And high times, almost broke my mind I ain’t too cold to forgive her For playin’ me, with sixes sevens and nines I don’t know, but surely I been told You make peace when you’re swinging from the gallows pole Laid low from draggin’ my tired old soul Could be going to Hell, you never can tell

Some people think they jive me But I know they must be crazy Don't see their misfortune I guess they're just too lazy Walk throughout the fire Fly throughout the smoke See my enemy At the end of their rope Walk on pines and needles See what they can do Walk on gilded splinters With the King of the Zulu Kon kon the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Kon kon the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Put gris-gris on your doorstep And soon you be in the gutter Melt your heart like butter And I can make you stutter Walk throughout the fire Fly throughout the smoke See my enemy At the end of their rope Walk on pines and needles See what they can do Walk on gilded splinters With the King of the Zulu Kon kon the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Kon kon the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters

I got no more trouble from you Done all the bad days I’m gonna do I got no more trouble from you Done all the bad days I’m gonna do And if I never make it back home no more May the long nights help you through Tried to keep you by my side Working my bones all day That ring slipped from your finger too many times Till I finally gone and lost my way I got no more trouble from you Done all the bad days I’m gonna do And if I never make it back home no more May the long nights help you through Used to think the sun walked beside you Shows just how little I know Gave up guessing why people do what they do A long time ago I got no more trouble from you Done all the bad days I’m gonna do And if I never make it back home no more May the long nights help you through
