Bad News Knockin’

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Late night headlight through the bedroom blinds Old dog hides his head beneath the bed and whines Blonde hair in yellow light looks like golden twine We've both seen that silhouette before I got bad news knockin' at my door [Verse 2] The rhythm of her rappin' on the rusty front door screen Sounds like a hurricane blowed up from New Orleans She's totin' stolen aces, best I got is queens We've been through this a time or two before I've got bad news knockin' at my door [Verse 3] Wе met up in Saint Angelo across the Rio Grand Thumbеd her way to Matamoros, had a mystic read her hand That diablo woman told me I see trouble up ahead She'll turn you inside out and makes you's wish that you was dead I pulled the curtain back from the window pane My worst fear was confirmed, it was her there in the rain I wish that she was gone and I was on a train, headed somewheres west of Baltimore I got bad news knockin' at my door I got bad news knockin' at my door I got bad news knockin' at my door
