Angels falling out the sky like they’re racing straight to hell Brothers drinking bourbon like they’re racing straight to jail Last one to hit the fire is first to make the bail
Shadows keep secrets hostage Until souls explode or melt Deal from the stacked deck until the black ace is dealt
Chorus: She walks to the door like cigar smoke rising Heels click the floor like old men crying She walks to the door like cigar smoke rising Heels click the floor like young men dying
Trade your soul for shadow games And watch her smile widen Close your eyes and try to dream And feel her talons tighten
Should have walked the ancient path And sought the narrow gate Crimson lies and smoky eyes Have sealed up your fate
She walks to the door like cigar smoke rising Heels click the floor like old men crying She dances on your soul like cigar smoke rising Heels click the floor like young men dying
A "song" inspired my Mike Cooley's style of song writing. If your not a Drive-By Truckers fan you probably won't appreciate it. Even if you are, you probably won't appreciate it. Mike Cooley is awesome.
