Tough Mama |
| Tough Mama |
| Meat shaking on your bones |
| I’m gonna go down to the river and get some stones |
| Sister’s on the highway with that steel-drivin' crew |
| Papa’s in the big house, his working' days are through |
| Tough Mama |
| Can I blow a little smoke on you? |
| Dark Beauty |
| Won’t you move over and give me some room? |
| It’s my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom |
| Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise |
| You came through it all the way, flying through the skies |
| Dark Beauty |
| With that long night’s journey in your eyes |
| Sweet Goddess |
| Born of a blinding light and a changing wind |
| Now, don’t be modest, you know who you are and where you’ve been |
| Jack the Cowboy went up north |
| He’s buried in your past |
| The Lone Wolf went out drinking |
| That was over pretty fast |
| Sweet Goddess |
| Your perfect stranger’s comin' in at last |
| Silver Angel |
| With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve |
| I’d be grateful if this golden ring you would receive |
| Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch |
| I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch |
| Sweet Goddess |
| It must be time to carve another notch |
| I’m crestfallen |
| The world of illusion is at my door |
| I ain’t a-hauling any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore |
| The prison walls are crumbling down, there is no end in sight |
| I’ve gained some recognition but I lost my appetite |
| Dark Beauty |
| Meet me at the border late tonight |
