The Shadow of a Black Crow

I am levitating somewhere down the road

With a price on my head and the shadow of a black crow

He's been on my tail for close to three days

Just a little souvenir of my wicked ways

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow

Father forgive me what my mother don't know

The scratch marks on my soul

From the shadow of a black crow

I've got a box of reds and a bottle of the blues

Comes a time in your life honey you've gotta choose

My belly's on fire from the acid of the truth

All the untold lies of my misspent youth

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow

Father forgive me what my mother don't know

The scratch marks on my soul

From the shadow of a black crow

It's pretty when you're young just a pity when you're old, yeah

Am I running away or am I closer to home

The lines and the signs and the miles go by

No one ever bothered to even ask me why

So I am disappearing into this road

With a six pack of sorrow and the shadow of a black crow

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow

Father forgive me what my mother don't know

The scratch marks on my soul

From the shadow of a black crow
