John Moreland Sallisaw Blue
One, two, one, go
Arkansas River, Sallisaw blue
This town never seen nothin' like you
They got silver spoons for American gods
I wanna be stoned, thrown American rods
I don't own anything, you don't know shit
With your bloodshot eyes giving my black heart fits
There's a neon sign that says ‘Big Bad Luv'
And a noose hanging down from the heavens above
It's no use, God bless these blues
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shattered
Down for the count, along for the ride
Sipping cold medicine, ruining our lives
Slumming I-40 with American songs
They can bury our bodies in American wrongs
It's no use, God bless these blues
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shattered
A neon sign that says ‘Big Bad Luv'
There's a noose hanging down from the heavens above
It's no use, God bless these blues
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shattered
Slumming I-40 with American songs
Well, they bury our bodies in American wrongs, yeah
