dixie is a scourge and a scar
and a girl in my heart and a state of mind
jesus is the man with a plan
he's a short haired mexican friend of mine
this small town crowd should've dragged you down
can't leave your past behind
wipers in the rain tap out time
coming up on a new state line
from the prison of my own damn mind
set out and see what i can find
brick up the well of tears and disappear
from the prison of my own damn mind
through the downtown cemetery
check the statue of the virgin mary
she's catching moonlight in the shadows
can you see the black widow
hung between our lady's hands?
from the prison of my own damn mind
set out and see what i can find
brick up the well of tears and disappear
from the prison of my own damn mind
now used to be when i was young
i was so hungry for oblivion
like fingers in a deadly web
but in time as sorrow showed it's face
in kind i learned to ache for grace
to work and pray to one day
from the prison of my own damn mind
set out and see what i can find
brick up the well of tears and disappear
from the prison of my own damn mind
