lyrics

Dust storm blowing through a cardboard town
tore the roof tops off left the asphalt brown
Flax sun setting on a junkyard road
with the tin piled high Lord, it shines like gold

I've been living in the country born to push that mule
got to plow these fields till our train comes through
an I'm looking for revival up a slack jaw line
with the hacksaw locals in a Roadhouse Shrine.

Yeah, they rearranged the letters on the old marquee
it reads "YOU STILL CAN'T TOUCH" and "ONLY THE DEAD DRINK FREE"
I got a big hipped mama she's a Tennessee Belle with her tattooed thigh
Lord she's come to cast her spell
They got a poor boy rolling down a main street holler
hawking earthbound voodoo for your redneck dollar
buy a crown roses for your valentine
if she's a half nude prophet in a Roadhouse Shrine

Yeah I still believe that maybe there's a light that shines for you and I
a faded mystery cradled in the shadows of a broken sky
If there's a god above waiting on the verses of a whispered prayer
I'll try to find the words scattered in the wreckage if I find you there
If I find you there

There was nothing left to suffer but our ashtray breath
we caught a white freightliner on down to Nazareth
that's where I bought a plastic Jesus off an antique vendor
she just spit out her gum and stuck the savior to the fender

Yeah we spent another evening in a dim motel
in a three way tryst with a Tennessee Belle
tired of seeking shelter with the rambling kind
and hacksaw locals in a Roadhouse Shrine
Roadhouse Shrine
