Creosote

Lyrics

Skinny white knees, ain't no breeze Down by the trestle Blackberry grin running down her chin Dark as pitch oil Lying on our backs right by the tracks Ain't gonna want no supper [Chorus] Don't cry for me, oh, when I die Just mark my grave with a railroad tie In an old pine box, honey, lay me low And seal it up with creosote [Verse 2] Me and Randy Joe, we know where to go When we gotta get closer We run and found a little patch of ground Where the cars pass over Stars looking down I lost it to the sound of a Carolina freight line howling [Chorus] Don't cry for me, oh, when I die Just mark my grave with a railroad tiе I ain't got no use for streets of gold ( For streets of gold ) No, honey, Heavеn smells like creosote [Bridge] If where I'm going looks like where I've been They're 'bout to paint my wings black as sin [Instrumental Break ] Come on [Chorus] Don't cry for me ( Don't cry for me ), honey, when I die ( Honey, when I die ) You better mark my grave with a railroad tie ( Mark my grave with a railroad tie ) In an old pine box ( Ooh ), honey, lay me low ( Ooh ) You seal it up with creosote, seal it up with creosote [Outro] Don't cry for me
