Counting Crows - Return of the Grievous Angel lyrics

1, 2, 1, 2, 3 Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich And welcome me back to town Come out on your porch, step into your parlor And I'll show you how it all went down Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town Oh and I remember something you once told me And I'll be damned if it did not come true Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all led me straight back home to you So I headed west to grow up with the country Out across those prairies with those waves of grain And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee Hey, we flew straight across that river bridge Last night at half past two The switchman wave his lantern goodbye, good luck As we went rolling through Billboards and truck stops pa** by the grievous angel And now I know just what I have to do And the man on the radio won't leave me alone He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee The news I could bring I met up with the king His head an amphetamine crown Talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt And lit out for some desert town Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town Oh, but I remember something you once told me Oh, and I'll be damned if it did not come true Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all lead me straight back home to you Oh, twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all lead me straight back home to you
