Burn Card

Lyrics

The trickin' leads to my worried mind
 My worried mind, it leads to you
 And thinkin' of you leads to nowhere but to the
 Devil in the ocean blue
 I ask the moon for orchids
 She said "How 'bout a drop of blood from a rolling stone?"
 She never fails to tickle my funny bone
 How do you steal what you really want
 When what you really want is free?
 And how do you deal when you lost at the wheel
 Only thinkin' how it 'oughta be?
 Held my love for ransom, and posted a reward I cannot afford
 A dynamite from the ceiling to the floor
 Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks to your rolled up trips
 I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
 And there ain't no river that needs a damn
 Just a slow and steady drift
 I'll be your burn card
 Lost in the shuffle at the bottom of the deck, yeah
 Tryin' to hide by the highway's low
 And the low way's mine
 You can burn me eternally
 Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
 And again and again and again and
 I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came
 Trouble is as trouble does
 When it's on a troubled mind
 Reasons come and reasons will go
 When the blind are followin' the blind
 The coffin in that cradle
 The daughter and the Holy Ghost in the same room
 Me, I'm just makin' the dust fly with the broom
 Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks to your rolled up trips
 I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
 And there ain't no river that needs a damn
 Just a slow and steady drift
 I'll be your burn card
 Lost in the shuffle at the bottom of the deck, yeah
 Tryin' to hide where the aces are low
 And the blinds are too high
 You can burn me eternally
 Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
 And again and again and again and again and again
 I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came
