Rusted Spirit

[Verse 1] Left my pride on the gravel road

Trading sweat for a heavy iron load

Crossroad shadow stretching long and wide

Nowhere left for a sinner man to hide

[Pre-Chorus] Sky is turning electric blue

The river hums a melody for you

Lightning strikes the rusted wire

Washing my soul in a cold black fire

[Chorus] Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

[Verse 2] Buzzing glass on a bottleneck slide

Found a truth that the daylight tried to hide

Rattling bones in a shallow clay bed

Counting up every word the spirits said

[Pre-Chorus] Sky is turning electric blue

The river hums a melody for you

Lightning strikes the rusted wire

Washing my soul in a cold black fire

[Chorus] Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

[Bridge] Woke up cold

Woke up old

Woke up sold

Silver in my pocket turned to dust and stone

I am standing on the mountain all alone

[Chorus] Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

Oh let the wire burn

Let the muddy water turn

[Drop] Wire burn

Water turn
