Return Of the Grievous Angel (instrumental)

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 show you how it all went down

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And a good saloon in every single townOh and I remember something 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'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 TennesseeWe flew straight across that river bridge, last night half past two

The switch-man wave his lantern goodbye and good day as we went roling through

Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel

And now I know just what I have to do (pick for me James)And the man on the radio won't leave me alone

He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to TennesseeThe 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 lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And a good saloon in every single townOh but I remember something 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
