lyrics

Holster your gun / 'til the time is right / 'til the call is louder
Woke up my girl / in the dead of night / I couldn't go on without her

I want the road now / but that road snow is coming down hard
I want the road now / but that road would only do me harm

Pack up my bag / with nothing / but cigarettes and bread
Let go my thoughts / clear out / my ever aching head

My feet are burning / but that fire will have to keep me warm
My feet are burning / and my heart is torn

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've got Hell / in my head
In my hands / oh the poison
I dug a hole / so deep
In my heart / to keep the noise in
I'm going down to the River with rocks in my clothes
I'm gonna take all the sins of the people I know
I've got Hell / in my head
In my hands / oh the poison

Satan / your head
My mother's heel / will crush you clean
Satan / I always knew
Love is war / my tongue is a guillotine

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Woman I / am petrified
The Holy Ghost / is coming by
It's horrible / it's in my bones
Never touch it but I will die from this
Never crack a smile I'd never let my mother cry for this
Until River I'm home

River I'm home
Lay me to rest on your floor

Jesus please / the remedy
I had it here / believe believe
I'll radiate / I'll fix me up again
Lucifer Lucifer come down off your high horse
The tower got too tall had to tear it down of course
But River I'm home
