Burn Card

The trickin' leads to my worried mind

My worried mind, it leads to you

And thinkin' of you leads to nowhere

But to the Devil in the ocean blue

I ask the moon for orchids

She said "How 'bout a drop of blood from a rolling stone?"

She never fails to tickle my funny bone

How do you steal what you really want

When what you really want is free?

And how do you deal when you lost at the wheel

Only thinkin' how it 'oughta be?

Held my love for ransom

And posted a reward

I cannot afford

A dynamite from the ceiling to the floor

Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks

To your rolled up trips

I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip

And there ain't no river that needs a dam

Just a slow and steady drip

I'll be your burn card

Lost in the shuffle at the

Bottom of the deck, yeah

Tryin' to hide

But the highway's low

And the low way's mine

You can burn me eternally

Out to the snow and the wind and the rain

And again and again and again and

I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came

Trouble is as a trouble does

When it's on a troubled mind

Reasons come and reasons will go

When the blind are followin' the blind

The coffin in that cradle

The daughter and the Holy Ghost in the same room

Me, I'm just makin' the dust fly with the broom

Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks to your rolled up trips

I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip

And it ain't no river that needs a dam

Just a slow and steady drift

I'll be your burn card

Lost in the shuffle at the bottom of the deck, yeah

Tryin' to hide where the aces are low

And the blinds are too high

You can burn me eternally

Out to the snow and the wind and the rain

And again and again and again and again and again

I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came
