Bruce Springsteen - Maria's Bed lyrics

Been on a barbed wire highway
Forty days and nights i ain't complaining
It's my job and it suit's me right
I got a sweet soft fever
Rushing around my head
I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed

Got on a dead man's suit
And a smiling skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work
My troubles in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed

Hey, hey hey, hey

I been up on sugar mountain
'cross the sweet blue sea
I walked the valley of love
And tears and mystery
I got run out'a luck and
Gave myself up for dead
And I drank the cool clear
Waters from Maria's bed

Hey, hey hey, hey

She gave me candy stick kisses
'neath a wolf dog moon
One sweet breath and she'll take you, mister
To the upper room
I was burned by the angels
Sold wings of lead
Then I fell in the roses and
Sweet salvation of Maria's bed

I been out in the desert, yeah, doing my time
Sifting through the dust for fool's gold
Looking for a sign
Holy man said "Hold on, brother
There's a light up ahead"
Ain't nothing like a light that shines
On me in Maria's bed

Well I'll take my blessings at the riverhead
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
Hey, hey hey, hey
Hey, hey
