Return of the Grievous Angel

[00:09.52] Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich,
[00:13.42] And welcome me back to town,
[00:16.23] Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor,
[00:20.01] And I'll show you how it all went down,
[00:22.97] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels,
[00:30.52] And a good saloon in every single town,
[00:37.13] And I remember something you once told me,
[00:44.73] And I'll be damned if it did not come true,
[00:52.38] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down,
[00:58.95] And they all lead me straight back home to you,
[01:05.59] So I headed west to grow up with the country,
[01:12.14] Out across those prairies with the waves of grain,
[01:19.79] And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea,
[01:26.47] And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.
[01:35.88] We flew straight across that river bridge,
[01:38.78] Last night at half past two,
[01:42.50] The switch man wave his lantern goodbye, good day,
[01:45.33] As we went rolling through,
[01:49.17] Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel,
[01:55.76] And now I know just what I have to do,
[02:02.36] And the man on the radio won't leave me alone,
[02:09.01] He wants to take my money for something,
[02:12.84] That I've never been shown,
[02:16.62] And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea,
[02:24.27] And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.
[03:01.01] The news I could bring I met up with the king,
[03:03.95] His head an amphetamine crown,
[03:06.78] Talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt,
[03:10.53] And lighted out for some desert town,
[03:16.29] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels,
[03:22.95] And a good saloon in every single town,
[03:29.56] Oh, and I remember something you once told me,
[03:37.11] And I'll be damned if it did not come true,
[03:43.78] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down,
[03:51.37] And they all lead me straight back home to you,
[03:57.99] Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down,
[04:06.41] And they all lead me straight back home to you.
