Melissa Etheridge - The Shadow Of A Black Crow lyrics

I am levitating somewhere down the road With a price on my head and the shadow of a black crow He's been on my tail for close to three days Just a little souvenir of my wicked ways I would rather die fast than to ever live slow Father forgive me what my mother don't know The scratch marks on my soul From the shadow of a black crow I've got a box of reds and a bottle of the blues Comes a time in your life honey you've gotta choose My belly's on fire from the acid of the truth All the untold lies of my misspent youth I would rather die fast than to ever live slow Father forgive me what my mother don't know The scratch marks on my soul From the shadow of a black crow It's pretty when you're young just a pity when you're old, yeah Am I running away or am I closer to home The lines and the signs and the miles go by No one ever bothered to even ask me why So I am disappearing into this road With a six pack of sorrow and the shadow of a black crow I would rather die fast than to ever live slow Father forgive me what my mother don't know The scratch marks on my soul From the shadow of a black crow
