El-Creepo! - Cottonwood River lyrics

Sittin on the banks of the cottonwood river Thinkin' what I left behind The only woman that I've ever loved A cold body and a sip of moonshine The lawman's on my heels today The sun is on my back I'm headed east to higher ground Along these railroad tracks I can't look back now.. Only love k**s a demon Brings a man to his knees Only d**h is awake In this hour of need The devils in gods garden Spreading his disease The sinners at the foot of Mary Begging for reprieve I can't look back now, I can't look back now I can't look back now, I can't look back now The needle to a junkie The value to a thief The guilt in the gospel The faith in belief Sittin on the banks of the cottonwood river Thinking what I left behind The only woman that I've ever loved A cold body and a sip of moonshine The lawman's on my heels today The sun is on my back I'm headed east to higher ground Along these railroad tracks I can't look back now Without a suitcase fate arrives A salesmen at my door As the reaper lays his hand on me And I collapse down to the floor A premonition, but that's alright The sun will rise, then fade to night I know When my day comes to die I'll find peace on the other side Sittin on the banks of the cottonwood river Thinking what I left behind The only woman that I've ever loved A cold body and a sip of moonshine The lawman's on my heels today The sun is on my back I'm headed east to higher ground Along these railroad tracks I can't look back now
