In this dusty little railroad town Smack in the heart of the Bible belt Where nothing ever changes While nothing remains the same When first I saw the raven Lean against the wind I said who's the girl With the tattoo on her skin I followed her home She lives down by the water My friend teddy told me She's the frenchman's daughter
On this day of reckoning I'm riding shotgun with you Tangled twisted strands of love Hanging from above
Chorus: I'm burnin for you Burnin for you We were first time lovers In a secret rendezvous Burnin, burnin Burnin for you
When I come knocking on her front door The neighbour said she don't live there no more
Well she moved from the country Down to the city Where the scene was dark And the street was gritty In the hustle and bustle and all the commotion She got addicted to the locomotion
On this day of reckoning By the old wooden bridge I wait for you Tangled twisted strands of love Hanging from above
Chorus
I remember the smell of the burning leaves And we were making love She was like a young georgia o'keefe From another time In an old abandoned railroad shack On should never go Where anything can happen When the zephyr blows
On this day of reckoning I'm calling to you Tangled twisted strands of love Hanging from above
Chorus
The phone rings she said I can't tell you where I'm calling from Cause my papa's on the lam For something shady that he's done
