Gold

Got a tattoo of a snake

And a ski mask on my face

But I woke up in a ditch behind the stop ’n go

Lying in the weeds with a bullet in my gut

Watching dollar bills fly away in the dust

Now the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the ground

But I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town

There was a girl with dark eyes and hair shining black

It ran like a river wild down her back

But these wide empty streets

An the air shaking with heat

They made me hungry, hungry to do something mean

Now the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the ground

But I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town

The stop ’n go’s closed, the coyotes they moan

And the wind’s rolling beer cans down the street

But the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the

Ground, and I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town
