[Lyric] Savory Sage Cyprus (Dusty The Kid)

It’s sneering, jeering faces
They’re foaming at the mouth
White knuckles ‘round their signs
Like vines ‘round sycamores down south

I’m walking with a crown of thorns
A belly full of lead
Wishing for my mother’s arms
But it’s crosshairs on my head, and O
I wish that I was dead

You know it ain’t that easy
You know it’s goddamn hard
I could walk out on the highway
I could lay down for the cars, and O
There’s laws the land all over
For keeping women down
Dear God, if there’s another way
Please show it to me now

It’s twenty simple steps
From the curb up to the door
But with every step I take
It seems to add a thousand more, and O
The man I loved is nowhеre
He’s nowherе to be seen
He dropped off a hundred dollars
And he bid goodbye to me

You know it ain’t that easy
You know it’s goddamn hard
I could walk out on the highway
I could lay down for the cars, and O
There’s laws the land all over
For keeping women down
Dear God, if there’s another way
Please show it to me now

Savory, Sage, and Cyprus
Pennyroyal, Hellebore
Rosemary and her sisters
Are marching off to war

And in our town’s a lonesome road
And on it is a sign
A sign that says, “Choose Life”
I stopped and told it, “I chose mine.”
