Abilene Grime

In the grime of an Abilene alleyway

I got my head cradled in my hands

Bet they ain't never heard the voice of God

Way down here, kid, way down here

I never thought that I could be

Brought back down to my knees

But here I am alone and lost, about to bleed out from a rifle shot

And I'm cursing the heavens

And the stars up above

For the rain that turns the dirt to mud and my addicted blood

It's funny that I used to think that I knew myself

But there's a darkness deep inside

Draggin' me to hell

Draggin' me to hell

Draggin' me to hell

Draggin' me to hell

I drank my fill of the blood of the Christ

I've seen the type of lonesome when real faith dies

I'm on my knees in purgatory

Pray for a little bit of his fadin' light, oh

Revenge like the devil's kiss

Revenge like the devil's kiss

Revenge like the devil's kiss

Revenge like the devil's kiss
