Emma Blowgun’s Last Stand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And goodness knows, it's been a wonderful run The autumn lakes where the children have swum Your mother's convictions and your father's predictions don't seem so insane They laugh and say your treasures are fake but don't throw it away [Verse 2] And you've been framed with a beautiful name And you've been saved but you lost your head With halos and praise, the trinity saves, but three's a crowd You flirt and drink, you can't stop your winking at the boys at the bar [Verse 3] All you need is a gun and a car A country song if you don't have a heart Of Cowboys and Indians and their palsied dominions where the highways are far When all you know's your shadow's a ghost, don't let it scare you away
