John Moreland Sallisaw Blue song lyrics

One two, one go

Arkansas River, Sallisaw Blues

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 anythin', you don't know shit

With your bloodshot eyes givin' my black heart fits

There's a neon sign that says ‘Big Bad Luv'

And a noose hangin' 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

Sippin' cold medicine, ruinin' our lives

Slummin' 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 hangin' down from the heavens above
