Kris Kristofferson - Star Spandgled Bummer lyrics

Ring anvil for the deal we dealt us by mistake Our angel made of steel is big enough to break 'Cause the rust is at his heel and I swear I seen him shaking But who'll be here to bring her body home The cabaret was crowded as her bed on payday night Sammy hit a soldier and the fools began to fight We scattered like the shadows in the early morning light But she remained to bring the body home For longer that it seemed he loved some honest man Who chased her wildest dream and rode her like the wind And they forged the bloody chains for some wounds too deep for mending But she was there to bring the body home The barker stood there smiling as he beckoned us inside To see the shining treasure that had grown too big to hide Look here he said he's harmless and we wished he was lyin' 'Cause few remained to bring the body home
