Marty Stuart - Badlands lyrics
[Marty Stuart - Badlands lyrics]
Well somewhere between the wanting
And the dying
Just beyond the thunder, of the gun
The bones of thirsty ghosts
Are sad and crying
Believing their redemption day has
Come and gone
It's a bitter pair of dice this dust of evil
Lost and lonely kingdom, of the plains
Well God looked down and saw
A world of suffering and then cried out
I’m gonna give this place a name
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
Well it's a church without a steeple
But in the heart of it's people
Good will come again, to the Badlands
It's a wilderness that lies
In a broken promise land
Where the devil and his soldiers
Hang around like next of kin
But the shadows have eyes
And I hear voices in the wind
Telling me the second coming of the red man
Is closer than it’s ever been
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
Well it's a church without a steeple
But in the heart of it's people
Good will come again, to the Badlands
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
And the dying
Just beyond the thunder, of the gun
The bones of thirsty ghosts
Are sad and crying
Believing their redemption day has
Come and gone
It's a bitter pair of dice this dust of evil
Lost and lonely kingdom, of the plains
Well God looked down and saw
A world of suffering and then cried out
I’m gonna give this place a name
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
Well it's a church without a steeple
But in the heart of it's people
Good will come again, to the Badlands
It's a wilderness that lies
In a broken promise land
Where the devil and his soldiers
Hang around like next of kin
But the shadows have eyes
And I hear voices in the wind
Telling me the second coming of the red man
Is closer than it’s ever been
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
Well it's a church without a steeple
But in the heart of it's people
Good will come again, to the Badlands
Badlands badlands
Badlands badlands
