Clouds form in big sky country, and the road gets dark at night
Rain keeps on pouring down, that 44's in sight
All alone in desolation, frozen cold with fright
Love, won’t you stay with me, 'til my path gets light
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
I try to listen but I can’t hear a single sound
And that rain, well, you know that rain just keeps on pouring down.
Love, won’t you stay with me til my path can be found
I got to keep movin’, hellhounds on my trail
I’ll run and run and run until my feet fail
See that train comin’ down that rail,
Love, won’t you follow me beyond Death’s black veil

The smoke filled the night
The heat was pushing me away
The song sung was telling of a man
A man who was digging his own grave
Her voice shattered the window
The holes won't be my scars
Well the bairn's calling over
'Don't you be burning on my guitar'
Well, the howls of a hellhound
They pierce through the dead calm
Her fiery eyes stare me down
She's knows the problem in my palms
Dragged my heart so very far
It's the way she says to me, 'aw honey
Don't you be burning on my guitar'
She trips me when I get high
She be running from door to door
She sighs I'm weird and shy
Hear her boom boom shake the floor
Well the feeling is moving and crawling
She's saying her goodbyes to the stars
Yeah, the demon inside wants out
Don't you be burning on my guitar

When the misty highway sinks into the wondrous river
When the hole of eternity defines to deliver
I can hope for the sky to turn, to raise to my hand
After the stained satin cloth is thrown in, she said 'you ain't my man'
The women lined from the station to the burnt hilled beach
Filed past the outdated marketplace to the next town out of reach
Oh Lord, a dime I ain't got, and I can't see what they see
Throw me a line, don't give me no lie, I want you to walk with me
The lights turn green after midnight, the howls are quick to go
Though the bird calls stay, the smoke screens built row on row
I want to find a home in the shade, out in front of nowhere
My watch has stopped, my feet are red, but with peace now I'll fare
The evergreens are in a haze, the silent thunder roars
Pushed back to the zoo, where I belong, my promise is coarse
My eyes are shot, my arms are open, I can't hear my plea
Throw me a line, don't give me no lie, I want you to walk with me
The sunset comes, the weariness takes down the many signs
But one can stick out to me, calling my name like her voice so kind
It just read 'alive' and that’s all i am, my bridges have fallen through
But up above that country farm in the wings is where I'll be without you
Spinning along, trying to get to where I can hear, miles from gone
The shiny rain clouds close me in, once again, I've been wrong
Separate the maze in the melancholy meadow; it was never 'we'
Throw me a line, don't give me no lie, I want you to walk with me

It's You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He’ll send us down to the fiery deep
Should have known just what we’d find
At the bottom of the bottle where we lost our mind
You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He makes it all look good to me
As you start to cry, I hear the screams
A-comin’ from the fiery deep.
I drink so my mind, it can forget
All those things that preacher said
Cries in my ears that all ring hollow
As I watch those poor sheep that follow
Satan’s watching as you sleep
So’s Santa Claus, but that don’t mean
You should spend your life living in fear
Of the judgement day that draws so near
These so-called “holy men”
Have come to take our lives and money again
All we do is give more and more
So these hypocrites can get themselves a nice young whore
Mr. Daniel, I thank you so much tonight,
You and Jim Beam always make things right
Honey, look down at the bottle’s end
It’s Mr. Lucifer again.
It’s You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He’ll send us down to the fiery deep
Should have known just what we’d find
At the bottom of the bottle where we lost our mind
You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He makes it all look good to me
As you start to cry, I hear the screams
A-comin’ from the fiery deep.
I’ll tell you once, and once again
Always watch yourself cause of one day when
The bell will toll and he will rise
And sinners against him will lose their eyes
The fire will rage and all will burn
That’s why oh why, we have to learn
If we save our prayers for Sunday, dear
The world will end and we’ll be here with…
You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He’ll send us down to the fiery deep
Should have known just what we’d find
At the bottom of the bottle where we lost our mind
You and Me And The Devil Makes Three
He makes it all look good to me
As you start to cry, I hear the screams
A-comin’ from the fiery deep.
