Sallisaw Blue - John Moreland

Sallisaw Blue Lyrics

One two, one go
Arkansas River, Sallisaw Blues
This town never seen nothin' like you
They got silver spoons for American gods
I wanna be stoned, thrown American rodsI don't own anythin', you don't know shit
With your bloodshot eyes givin' my black heart fits
There's a neon sign that says 'Big Bad Luv'
And a noose hangin' down from the heavens above
It's no use, God bless these blues
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shatteredDown for the count, along for the ride
Sippin' cold medicine, ruinin' our lives
Slummin' I-40 with American songs
They can bury our bodies in American wrongs
It's no use, God bless these blues
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through

Honey, show me I'm not shatteredA neon sign that says 'Big Bad Luv'
There's a noose hangin' down from the heavens above
