Burn Card from Alta Falls by The Barr Brothers

-- Lyrics --

Drinking leads to my worried mind
My worried mind leads to you
Thinking of you leads nowhere
But to the devil and the ocean blue
I asked the moon for orchids
She said how about a drop of blood
From a rolling stone
She never fails to tickle my funny bone

How do you steal what you really want
When what you really want is free
And how do you deal when you’re lost at the wheel
Honey, thinking how it ought to be
You held my love for ransom
And posted a reward I could not afford
And dynamite from the ceiling to the floor

Yeah, from your one-eyed jacks to your rolled up trips
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
And it ain't no river that needs a damn
Just a slow and steady drip

I'll be your burn card
Lost in the shuffle
At the bottom of the deck
Trying to hide where the highway is low
And the low way is mine
You can burn me, turn me
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
Again and again and again
I'm just'a leaving a little worse than when I came

Trouble is as trouble does
When it’s on a troubled mind
Reasons come and reasons will go
And the blind are following the blind
A coffin and a cradle
The daughter and the holy ghost in the same room
Me, I'm just making the dust fly with the broom

Yeah, from your one-eyed jacks to your rolled up trips
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
And it ain't no river that needs a damn
Just a slow and steady drip

I'll be your burn card
Lost in the shuffle
At the bottom of the deck
Trying to hide where the aces are low
And the blinds are too high
You can burn me, turn me
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
Again and again and again and again and again
I'm just'a leaving a little worse than when I came
