Black Bell 05:52
More: Lyrics

Lyrics:

Evil ways, where the streets have no name Dust turns red, and the men have no shame Wouldn’t save this town for one righteous man So leave your bags, run as fast as you can. So ma don’t turn around, when the black bell sound Sinners burn in a wicked pyre, souls condemned for their evil desire Well you’ll burn too, for how you tore us apart Blue eyed girl with a cold black heart. What goes round comes around, when the black bell sounds. Skies grew dark like the end of days Good times through, but the tune still plays Just one more year, and I’ll be gone To seek the truth, upon the liars throne So lord I’ll be around, Til lay my soul back in the ground When the black bell sounds.

Friscoe Ride 05:12
More: Lyrics

Lyrics:

Well I’m so lonesome hearted and that’s plain to see That evil ol woman got a hold on me There goes my mind through it On that frisco ride Pulled that box from under the bed, pull out my forty… Cop asked the doctor, he said ‘what kind of man could leave his own woman lyin’ dead in the sand?’ Drove all night through it, back to Baltimore When up jumped the devil and, said time to settle the score now. I got to town there was nothin left, c’mon I’m not the only one who thought you were And just between you and me I know I’m goin down to a place I thought I’d go 10,000 people, at the buryin ground, didn’t know I loved her til they began to let her down Drove all night through it, back to Baltimore When up jumped the devil and, said it’s time for you to go.

Vincennes 04:12
More: Lyrics

Lyrics:

Fore I die, before I get goin, so long to courthouse and the mines of coal Family’s gone, factory’s closed, days get shorter and I’m gettin’ old And It’s a long way to the roads where I once roamed, Yeah It’s a long way to the place I call my home. Packed some clothes, sold the rest, lonely highway and I’m headed west Ain’t seen nobody, no town for miles, empty hills and a empty sky And It’s a long way to the roads where I once roamed, Yeah It’s a long way to the place I call my home. All around done changed but i don't really mind/ Break up out of the cage or get left behind Some sweet, gon’ lay me down Thorny gates gonna be my crown Ain’t gon’ lie, drink no more, Gonna sing when I see my lord And It’s a long way to the roads where I once roamed, Yeah It’s a long way to the place I call my home.
