Lyrics Metal Firecracker - Lucinda Williams

Metal Firecracker

John Ciambotti bass guitar
Donald Lindley drums
Gurf Morlix guitar/harmony vocal
Steve Earle acoustic guitar
Michael Smotherman organ
Once we rode together
In a metal firecracker
You told me I was your queen
You told me I was your biker
You told me I was your everything
Once I was in your blood
And you were obsessed with me You wanted to paint my picture
You wanted to undress me You wanted to see me in your future
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
Once you held me so tight
I thought I’d lose my mind
You said I rocked your world
You said it was for all time
You said that I would always be your girl
We’d put on ZZ Top
And turn em up real loud
I used to think you were strong
I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
