Bill Mallonee - Tobacco Sunburst lyrics

Well it seemed so unprotected there She was beautiful he waved to the people standing there The caddy it slows down and from up and out of nowhere Heartache lines up into your crosshairs Cartridges give way to prayers and then The monitors all flatline and the paper hits the stands It's a dram to take the edge off of the curse You chase it down with tobacco sunburst You step into the light growing dimmer with each night Words are flesh on your bones and all that just to say We're all underneath God's starlight A little high to keep the stage fright more or less at bay And you grasp for coins and find that they're all spent Under the less-than-benevolent gaze of your darker elements It's a dram to take the edge off of the curse You get it done with tobacco sunburst And you step into the dark across the street to a nearby park To a bench carved by lovers that keeps calling my name And I talk to mary alice who's now living in a palace Waiting for our lucky day When all your hands of God reveal your lack Still you're all shiny and new just like jack's cadillac It's a dram to take the edge off of the curse You drive it home with tobacco sunburst
