Maria's Bed

[00:30.50] Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
[00:37.25] I ain't complainin', it's my job and it suits me right
[00:44.55] I got a sweet soft fever rushin' around my head
[00:51.66] I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed
[01:05.87] Got on a dead man suit and smilin' skull ring
[01:13.38] Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
[01:20.04] I keep my heart in my work but trouble's in my head
[01:27.48] And I keep my soul in Maria's bed
[01:48.67] I been up on sugar mountain, cross the sweet blue seas
[01:55.09] I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
[02:02.03] I got run out'a luck and give myself up for dead
[02:09.24] And I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed
[02:30.99] She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon
[02:35.26] Sweet breath and she'll take you mister to the upper room
[02:41.82] I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
[02:47.28] Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed
[02:54.52] I been out in the desert yeah doin' my time
[03:01.46] Searchin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign
[03:08.31] Holy man said "hold on brother there's a light up ahead"
[03:15.18] Ain't nothing like a light that shines on me in Maria's bed
[03:22.63] Well I'll take my blessings at the riverhead
[03:26.87] I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
[03:33.36]
