Dangerous Spirits Lyrics


Dangerous spirits are at large in the hills
[D]
cold dark wings is in the air
[D] [G]
some have been lost to the shadows within the light
[D] [A] [D]
some are beyond the reach of prayer[D]
I myself have stood with the ravens in the rain
[D]
a darkness in my heart and a younger face
[D] [G]
and with a stolen chestnut mare and a blue navy colt
[D] [A] [D]
I was above the law outside the bounds of grace[D]
With a pistol in my hand and no kindness in my eyes
[D]
I wore these as a badge high in fashion
[D] [G]

but I had to walk away from the powder and the flame
[D] [A] [D]
the reason was not fear it was compassion
[D]
I let my revolver fall from my hands
[D]
and put on the coat of a pilgrim
[D] [G]
now there is more to me than between my hat and boots
[D] [A] [D]
and the treasures I own no one can steal themSolo[D]
Now I stand in the dirt with the dust on my boots
[D]
the road that I choose is less travelled
[D] [G]
the flag that I follow is full of holes and torn
[D] [A] [D]
and its sacred threads can never be unraveled[D]
And I have met a woman who is in my breath and bones
[D]
she's at ease in either calico or leather
[D] [G]
she prays to a god who does not hurt or hate
[D] [A] [D]
she wears earrings of crystals and feathersSolo[D]
Since I left my revolver in the dirt
[D]
I have known peace since that hour
[D] [G]
and now I see my life passing before my eyes
[D] [A] [D]
as a petal falling from a flower[D]
Ah but there are dangerous spirits are at large in the hills
[D]
cold dark wings is in the air
[D] [G]
some have been lost to the shadows within the light
[D] [A] [D]
some are beyond the reach of prayerOutro solo

Ray Wylie Hubbard (born 13 November 1946 in Soper, Oklahoma, moved to Dallas, Texas, USA in 1954) is an American country music singer and songwriter. An active performer since 1965, his song "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother" was made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1973. He has recorded and performed continuously since then, apart from a short period in the late 1980s.

With a keen eye of observation and a wise man’s knowledge, Ray Wylie Hubbard composes and performs a dozen songs that couldn’t spring from anywhere else but out of his fertile rock and roll bluesy poet-in-the-blistering-heat southern noggin. ”I like to look at both enlightenment and endarkenment,” he declares. “I feel comfortable observing each.”

His 2010 album "A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment" demonstrates the kind of talent that every great songwriter yearns for. Throughout the album, his focus remains on the song-constructing and performing stories set to music that resonate in a way that is completely his own. Hubbard recruits an ensemble of accomplished musicians to make the album’s larger than life outlaw tunes echo from track to track. Among the musicians featured on the album are Kevin Russell (The Gourds), Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen), Bukka Allen (Ian Moore, Jack Ingram), Billy Cassis (Bob Schneider,Double Trouble, Soulhat), Ray Bonneville (B.B. King, JJ Cale, Muddy Waters), Seth James (Percy Sledge, Delbert McClinton), David Abeyta (Reckless Kelly) and The Trishas as well as his own son, Lucas Hubbard.

The writing and recording of A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment came on the heels of Hubbard’s first screenplay endeavor, which was funded and filmed with a cast of icons including Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam and Lizzy Caplan. A weekly radio show, constant touring, and producing kept him busy, but didn’t manage to steal the Texan singer-songwriters focus. The outcome of the album is a juxtaposition of songs like “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” a fundamental gospel piece, and “Drunken Poet’s Dream,” cowritten with Hayes Carll. Read more on Last.fm.
