Blue Mist Road

NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD
OLD FAMILIAR STING OF A ROCK SALT LOAD

THE HOUSE ON THE BLOCK GOT A MILLION GHOSTS
WHERE THE FIRST-BORN GIRL WAS LOVED THE MOST

A SHOOT FIRST FATHER SHE LOVED AND LOATHED
DAUGHTER AND HER LOVER STAYED UNBETROTHED
IN DARK BLOOD CLOUD BOUT A CENTURY OLD
WHERE THE ARMS OF A CURSE STILL GOTTA HOLD

LONG TIME AGO THERE'S A STORY TOLD
BOUT THE CHILDREN ALL SINGIN ON BLUE MIST ROAD
THE PRICE OF A SOUL IS STILL WHAT'S OWED
SO NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD,
NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD

I SAW A VISION IN MY TIME
NEVER HAD THE GUTS TO PUT MY NECK ON THE LINE
NO ONE BOTHERED TO EVER ASK WHY
FIRST DAUGHTER RAN CRYIN' EYES TO THE SKY

FOG PAINTS BLUE THE SWAMP WETLANDS
THE SLEEP BLINDS YOUR EYES - AS YOU SINK IN THE SAND
LOOKIN' FOR THE MOON THROUGH THE BRANCH OF A TREE
WAS A DRY BONE SMILE STARIN' BACK AT ME

LONG TIME AGO THERE'S A STORY TOLD
OF THE DARK CLOUDS COMIN DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD
THE PRICE OF A SOUL IS STILL WHAT'S OWED
SO NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

THOUGHT I SAW A SMILE THEN REALIZED
THERE WAS NOTHIN MOVIN BEHIND HER EYES

SHE LIED MOUTH OPEN COULDN'T GET NO AIR
REACHING TO THE SKY NO BODY WAS THERE

THE SOUND OF THE WIND HOWLED THOUGH THE TREES
ALL THE TOWN FOLKS FELT WAS A GENTLE BREEZE
BUT THE SNAKES IN THE PIT FELT THE RATTLE AND ROLL
AS THE FIRST DAUGHTER DIED WITH A GIN-SOAKED SOUL
FIRST DAUGHTER DIED OF GIN-SOAKED SOUL

LONG TIME AGO THERE'S A STORY TOLD
OF THE STORM CRASHIN IN ON BLUE MIST ROAD
THE PRICE OF A SOUL IS STILL WHAT'S OWED
NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD

LONG TIME AGO THERE'S A STORY TOLD
OF THE STORM THAT SWALLOWED UP BLUE MIST ROAD
THE PRICE OF A SOUL IS STILL WHAT'S OWED
NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD
NEVER GO ALONE DOWN BLUE MIST ROAD
FIRST DAUGHTER HAD A SIN THE WORLD NEVER KNOW
