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