lyrics

I walked down-down to the village below
Walked a broken mile down a broken road
My ride was all rusted my engine forlorn
My hands were bleedin my palms were all torn
I got-got down on my knees to pray
Said please lord take this burden away

I'm a lost soul sinner got nothin on my mind
I'm a real breadwinner got nothing to line
These poor mans pockets no penny do I keep
I'm a lucky dog thinker with no place to sleep
uh huh
uh hu-uh

The people there drank their rum and coke
Their noses powdered yes indeed they did smoke
The rocks from their spoons in their places to hide
There was no shotgun weddings no shotgun brides
And the preachers keep quiet in their sunlit rooms
No rings around their fingers got nothing to lose

I'm a lost soul sinner got nothin on my mind
I'm a real breadwinner got nothing to line
These poor mans pockets no penny do I keep
I'm a lucky dog thinker with no place to sleep
uh huh / uh hu-uh / uh huh
uh hu-uh

And it's easy to see
You got to see it to believe
Yes it's easy to see that I am free,
I am free

I'm just a man with no answers in this place I dwell
These rules I've delighted and broken in so well
Is this pearly cocaine heaven man or heroine hell
I'm one bad Fetanyl trip from that graveyard bell

I'm a lost soul sinner got nothin on my mind
I'm a real breadwinner got nothing to line
These poor mans pockets no penny do I keep
I'm a lucky dog thinker with no place to sleep
uh huh / uh hu-uh / uh huh
uh hu-uh
