Bible Town

from My Reckless Heart by Joe Brook

lyrics

I walked a block to the liquor store
I saw a neon light in the sky.
Blazing high like road flares
heading south bound on the five
I've got my drugs and I've got my poison
there's a dollar to my name.
but you're my girl and that keeps me sane.

a wise man he did tell me "son,
let you're burden down."
held underneath the water
i was certain i would drown.
now my smile's in my prescription
and my soul's in my paycheck.
now i think i drank too much cause i'm gettin sick.

It's not so hard in a bible town
the people they'd all agree.
with hands in each other's pockets
the virgin begins to bleed.
and i guess that town's not so different from me
i'm ignorant and i am cheap.
wash the blood from my hands
and keep my nose clean.

I sold my soul for that bag of gold
on that night so cold and black.
traded my guitar
for a noose around my neck.
and on that line i signed my name
just like a judge's death sentence.
I said you put me in this grave, now bury me in it.

You are my sunshine my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are grey
you'll never know , dear, how much i love you.
so please don't take my sunshine away.
