Sallisaw Blue Lyrics


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
