Ride Like the Devil's Son

[Verse 1] Gust storm whispered in my ear Your turn to take the bullseye With the force and praise of jack straw crows Knock knock knocking at my door But after twenty years I hang my spurs On the perch of these telephone wires They used to drag on cupid heels With true North in their compass Wandering in circles, with nothing left to lose Carved on a mountain where a pale horse rides The bible, yes the bible is the truth [Hook] Can you read my palms? Can you read my heart? Can you read my lips? Can you read my thoughts When I close my eyes And I ride And I ride like the devil's son [Verse 2] With vultures flying overhead And pecking at my carcass They cauterize those highway lanes That lead us out of darkness Wandering in circles With nothing left to lose Carved on a mountain where a pale horse rides The bible, yes the bible is the truth [Hook]x4
