Sallisaw Blue - John Moreland

Arkansas River, Sallisaw blue

This town never seen nothin' like you

They got silver spoons for American gods

I wanna be stoned, thrown American rods

I don’t own anything, you don’t know shit

With your bloodshot eyes giving my black heart fits

There’s a neon sign that says ‘Big Bad Luv'

And a noose hanging down from the heavens above

It’s no use, God bless these blues

Let’s get wrecked and bruised and battered

I need you, come on, burn right through

Honey, show me I’m not shattered

Down for the count, along for the ride

Sipping cold medicine, ruining our lives

Slumming I-40 with American songs

They can bury our bodies in American wrongs

It’s no use, God bless these blues

Let’s get wrecked and bruised and battered

I need you, come on, burn right through

Honey, show me I’m not shattered

A neon sign that says ‘Big Bad Luv'

There’s a noose hanging down from the heavens above

It’s no use, God bless these blues

Let’s get wrecked and bruised and battered

I need you, come on, burn right through

Honey, show me I’m not shattered

Slumming I-40 with American songs

Well, they bury our bodies in American wrongs, yeah
