Burn Card

Drinking leads to my worried mind

My worried mind leads to you

Thinking of you leads nowhere

But to the devil and the ocean blue

I asked the moon for orchids

She said how about 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're lost at the wheel

Honey, thinking how it ought to be

You held my love for ransom

And posted a reward I could not afford

And 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 it ain't no river that needs a damn

Just a slow and steady drip

I'll be your burn card

Lost in the shuffle

At the bottom of the deck

Trying to hide where the highway is low

And the low way is mine

You can burn me, turn me

Out to the snow and the wind and the rain

Again and again and again

I'm just'a leaving 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

And the blind are following the blind

A coffin and a cradle

The daughter and the holy ghost in the same room

Me, I'm just making 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 it ain't no river that needs a damn

Just a slow and steady drip

I'll be your burn card

Lost in the shuffle

At the bottom of the deck

Trying to hide where the aces are low

And the blinds are too high, you can

Burn me, turn me

Out to the snow and the wind and the rain

Again and again and again and again and again

I'm just'a leaving a little worse than when I came
