She blessed
all dirty water
on a stormy
full moon night.
She walked through
sand and fire,
never caught
in a fight.
He got that
rattlesnake fever,
red dust
on his boots,
Demons and
fallen angels
got the black

She's drivin' hard
that Chevy trail
burnin' on
both ends.
She rocks the town
of New Orleans
with her

A mean shoot down
in Ed's Saloon,
spirits join
the sky,
the undertaker said
"I'll never forget
the day
the whole town cried "
