Return of the Grievous Angel
Lyricist:Beau Brown, Gram Parsons
Won't you scratch my itch, sweet Annie Rich And welcome me back to town? Come out on your porch or step into your parlor And I'll tell you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town Oh, and I remembered something you once told me And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all led me straight back home to you 'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea And I thought about a calico bonnet From Cheyenne to Tennessee
We flew straight across that river bridge last night half-past two Switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good-day As we went rolling through Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel Now I know just what I have to do Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone He wants to take my money for something That I've never been shown
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea And I thought about a calico bonnet From Cheyenne to Tennessee
The news I could bring, I met up with the king On his head, an amphetamine crown Talked about unbuckling that old Bible belt Lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels And a good saloon in every single town Oh, but I remembered something you once told me And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all lead me straight back home to you Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down And they all lead me straight back home to you
