Of soiled fields, she gathers grave rye
She needs no wood to crucify
The burning saves, reason she enslaves
And I won't be back for days Evil moonshine Puts bad thoughts in my mind
To her will I become resigned
Ol Scratch adds His damned soul brew
At the crossroads I ordered a few Pre-Chorus 1:
Where she comes from, why she's here
What she builds with a laugh she burns down with a tear
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown Chorus:
She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet
Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x2) V 3:
She adds a dash of wasted seven years
And salt of mistake childrens' tears
Stilled in water It's past song she sings
How it went through beggars and it went through kings Pre-Chorus 2:
She won't show you your future only where you will fail
How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown [Chorus] V4:
Ground is dry, sun on my side
Holster heavy as my pride
Place I left, a good man had died
When she my only guide V5:
I can't stop While my heart beats
Good people pray for rain
All I ask, Lord what I pray,
Is for my love to stop feeling like pain [Pre Chorus 2]
She won't show you your future only where you will fail
How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet
Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x4)
