Kelly Reckless - Little Blossom lyrics

Little Blossom Choked and her daddy croaked Her sad face toked and her long pipe smoked She drank herself to sleep every night She had colts to ride a few steers to find Deer meat, fish and spuds to fry But inside she cried somehow my life ain't right She knew she had to take a big ride Across the desert and the valley wide Pa** a couple little towns to another one that she knew She left her saddle and her medicine belt With her ole uncle cause he knew how she felt Made a prayer over her bones and away she flew She looked at me thru bleary eyes And when she spoke , much to my surprise She told me things I would have never known She was takin her meals back to mexico She quoted bob Dylan and Geronimo We ate lots of mushrooms and chased em down with joe crow She told me shed been stabbed 3 times Been married twice and been on the wine Smokin cigarettes don't stunt your growth And you can bury your heart at wounded knee Or get a scan from the university Somehow I had the feelin shed done both "You can praise the Lord and bury your dead Or you can be your own God," she said "Ive sold myself but I have made a livin" So buy me drinks and toast to my health Tomorrow ill forgive myself Ive got nobody else who needs forgivin She was makin me a proposition If I would just shut up and listen Shed pay me back in time when she got home With a little help from the stars and moon She said I won't be returnin soon I told her she could call me on the phone Now Little Blossom combs out her hair And lives alone way out there At night she lays her tired old body down She rides some colts and runs some steers Deals with all her doubts and fears Does her best to stay away from town Nah it don't do to stay away from town
