heaven’s gone and the lights come on
the engine sings for me
chasing minutes around the dial
a little closer but never free
deputy, a man on the run
ain’t worth a bullet from his gun
no star in this west texas night
will see the morning light
six miles to the line, when they hit me this time
siren’s blazing in my rearview mirror
pulled over with a lifetime to lose
just then the stars disappeared
chorus
never had much luck, til the dust storm struck
the dirt in my lung kept the blood from my hand
sometimes the devil takes care of his own
no stars over the rio grande
no stars over the rio grande
no stars over the rio grande
Get dosed with stripped down hard rock that conceals a joyous heart beating beneath all those evil, relentless riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2018
