Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bumping down the county road, some sneaky in the beat Agnes sighs and checks her thighs she's moving, movin' through the Heat, it takes a heavy toll that the people love to pay So get your roll of dimes and your sippin' wine 'Cause forgettin' time's the order of the day [Verse 2] Yellow bus drops Gospel Jones, he lost that eye in '43 Soggy smile, he'll preach a while about losin' Losin' nothing but a state of mind like a roll of dice You gotta let 'em fall where they may But the gospel's gold is in the glass he holds And ain't nobody gonna take it away [Bridge] Token stories, trading glory for the flame Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul [Verse 3] Detroit Hank looking for some love raises a glass to Lemon Klein Looking bold, she's off parole and gleaming Scheming from behind a different bar and a darker star Where everyone takes a seat 'Cause when you're fightin' time and you're soaked with wine You forget that you can leave [Chorus] Gospel's watching Agnes dancing near the flame Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul Heated prancing she keeps dancing with pain Gospel's singing, Nipper's Corner's gonna blow [Outro] Bumpin' down the county road, some sneaky in the beat Agnes sighs and drops her eyes She's movin'
