"Plain Dealing" lyrics

Caught a bus out of Plain Dealing
Tired of staring at the same ceiling
My heads a' humming
Don't know what I'm chasing
I'm just running to keep from staying
My backbone ain't used to bending
I like the highway and this way of living
Diesel smoke and hard, fast women
Let them wheels just a' keep on spinning

It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Putting me down deep and dark
Ain't no way I can be saved
It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Me and the devil
Gone hand in hand
Towards the sun
On judgment day

Pushing luck in El Dorado
Hiding out in them bars all hollow
Dim and dancing, moving, shaking
I'm drifting in and out of the vapors
And my sanity relies on the brevity
Of the bite from the highs that I bought cheap
The walls are talking, stained with sweat
Lying here in this motel bed

It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Putting me down deep and dark
Ain't no way I can be saved
It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Me and the devil
Gone hand in hand
Towards the sun
On judgment day

It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Putting me down deep and dark
Ain't no way I can be saved
It's a long-handled shovel
Out there digging my grave
Me and the devil
Gone hand in hand
Towards the sun
On judgment day
Me and the devil
Gone hand in hand
Towards the sun
On judgment day
