Holy Water - Lori McKenna

HOLY WATER

(recorded live at The Blackthorne Tavern, per liner notes)

By Lori McKenna

Ain’t going to sell my soul, well I’m not that dumb

Things are never what they seem

Down at the cross roads I got better things to sell

I’m going to sell some of my dreams…

Going to package them up

Two for a buck

And with any luck

I’ll buy me some Holy Water, gonna to wash me clean

And that Holy Water is gonna to wash me clean…

Well, I’ve seen the devil, says he’s going to buy me time

Make my dreams come true

I say baby, baby, baby you don’t know my kind

This is what I’m going to do

Going to package them up

Two for a buck

I’m going to sell them cheap and keep the water running

Gimme some Holy Water, going to wash me clean

And that Holy Water is going to wash me clean…

If you see me with the devil by my side

Well I am guilty by association, I can’t lie

But I can hear their cries and I can hear their screams

I’m going down to the crossroads to sell myself some dreams…

Oh hear me now, hear me now…

I line up with the sinners and wait my time

Saying I’m the one with dreams for sale

Dreams aplenty, two for ten dimes

Buy a lot and they won’t fail…

Going to package them up

Two for a buck

I’m going to sell them cheap and keep the water running

Gimme some Holy Water

You gotta get me some, you gotta get me some

Holy Water, it’s going to wash me clean…

And that Holy Water is going to wash me clean…
