Grievous Angel
Emmylou Harris Song Lyrics
(Gram Parsons Thomas O. Brown) Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich And welcome me back to town Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour And I'll tell you how it all went down Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town And I remember something that you once told me And I'll be damned if it did not come true Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all lead me straight back home to you We flew straight across that river bridge, Last night half past two The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we Went rolling through Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel And now I know just what I have to do Cause I headed West to grow up with the country Across those prairies with those waves of grain And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee The news I could bring I met up with the king On his head an amphetamine crown He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt And headed out for some desert town Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town And I remember something that you once told me And I'll be damned if it did not come true Twenty thousand roads I went down down down And they all lead me straight back home to you Twenty thousand roads I went down down down And they all lead me straight back home to you |
