Oh, bring your salt, bring your cigarette Draw me a circle and I'll protect Heaven is here if you want it Oh, bring your, boy, bring your bottle Open your mouth, pour it down his neck Heaven is here if you want it And all of the fish, let them flounder I went to the water, drank every drop I'll turn your sea to a desert More catholic taste than the Devil All gilded and golden, yes, I'm your girl Hell, if it glitters, I'm going And I ride in my red dress And time stretchеs endless With my gun in my hand You know I always get my man And еvery song I wrote became an escape rope Tied around my neck to pull me up to Heaven

In my younger days, I was a fighter In my younger days, I felt the fire Things didn't go my way I'd strike a match and turn my back You'd be surprised by how many bridges I've burned In my younger days, I'd love and then leave 'em Because I was afraid I wouldn't know how to keep 'em I'd trade my freedom for a steady hand now But I wouldn't trade the lessons I learned No, I wouldn't change a thing about my younger days Looking back I'm glad to see I didn't get my way In my younger days What's a legacy? And how do I leave one? For the children I might never have What's a purpose? Tell me why do I need one? Taking life as it comes ain't working out too bad No, I wouldn't change a thing about my younger days Looking back I'm glad to see I didn't get my way In my younger days No, I wouldn't change a thing about my younger days Looking back I'm glad to see I didn't get my way In my younger days The agony and ecstasy The joy and the pain Who I was would be proud to see The person I became In my younger days

What was your name? I can't place it I'm still wasted away in the taste of your skin As we face the day Your thoughts are racing And I see you hesitating to let me in But you don't have to say you love me, oh, just stay I'm not saying we were heaven made But our liquor gave me the wisdom To know you got what I've been missing We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white Say we're not to blame Say our parents gave us reason To believe the bars were meant to break Nothing gold can stay And I'll say that pain Is just a mask you wear To distract from the fact That your hands were holding onto this possibility But you don't have to say you love me, oh, just stay I'm not saying we were heaven made But our liquor gave me the wisdom To know you've what I've been missing We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white Raise a glass to mask the feeling of coming disaster Try to act as if all you've given doesn't matter The past is past, but I have to ask Is it really worth the way you feel Walking home alone the morning after? We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white

They drowned me in the Jordan Then they tried to wash me clean They got the stains out But now it's too damn hard to breathe They told me he's a good Lord As they tied the shackles to my feet They drowned me in the Jordan And then they walked away from me I washed up on the shores alone In a tattered wedding gown Disillusioned and hardened Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down That is where you found me Grace and whisky on your breath You pulled me back on my feet And taught me how to dance again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Oh-oh-oh-oh I don't feel so young now Gave the best years of my life away I tried to build an institution Instead of tryna keep the faith If you'd been the one You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving You kissed the curse from my lips And taught them to rejoice again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Now I've found love There's no turning back
