Blitzen Trapper - The Prophet lyrics
[Blitzen Trapper - The Prophet lyrics]
Sometimes I miss my pappy
Sometimes I miss my ma
I been livin' out here mid 20 years
Where the desert meets the draw
There ain't no drink to speak of
Just dust and dirt and death
And the fire at night from the sky is bright
Sometimes it hurts my chest, yeah
And the kid I hung around the town
I'm gonna chase him down
But, I got fed up with the local law
So we lit on out of there
Then I went to work in the mines at night
Y'know the devil got in my lungs
So I hit the road with a dancin' toad
Singin' country music songs, yee haw
About that time I lost my mind
I'd more likely love my head
When I found that toe
A'dancin' with my girlfriend in my bed
So I hopped a train in the pourin' rain
But it was headed off the rail
You know we made the news
But I lost my shoes
And everybody else went to jail, c'mon
Well I wandered through the mountains
And I wandered through the hills
I wound up in the desert, boy
Where the lonesome outlaw kills
I thought at first that I'd died of thirst
As I lay there in the sand
Then a voice it came, it was soft as rain
Then lightnin' struck the land, blammo
Now, my beard is wicked, child
My work here even worse
I wear the pails of a thousand ails
And I walk all through the Earth
My message, it is simple, boy
I'll tell you in a song
Like fire and ice, yeah, the world is nice
But it doesn't last very long, c'mon
Sometimes I miss my pappy
Sometimes I miss my ma
I been livin' out here mid 20 years
Where the desert meets the draw
Naw, there ain't no drink to speak of
Just dust and dirt and death
And the fire at night from the sky is bright
Sometimes it hurts my chest, yes
Sometimes I miss my ma
I been livin' out here mid 20 years
Where the desert meets the draw
There ain't no drink to speak of
Just dust and dirt and death
And the fire at night from the sky is bright
Sometimes it hurts my chest, yeah
And the kid I hung around the town
I'm gonna chase him down
But, I got fed up with the local law
So we lit on out of there
Then I went to work in the mines at night
Y'know the devil got in my lungs
So I hit the road with a dancin' toad
Singin' country music songs, yee haw
About that time I lost my mind
I'd more likely love my head
When I found that toe

So I hopped a train in the pourin' rain

And everybody else went to jail, c'mon

And I wandered through the hills
