The 13th Day

The 13th day of the 13th year Woke up with the moon to find myself here He shined a blue light down upon my dark soul "Put your walking shoes on, boy, it's time to go" No place to hide when the Devil comes to call Stronger men than me couldn't stop their fall But I've a Cross made of bullets and a mojo hand And this bottle of whiskey will help me to stand And I've spent the last 1000 nights alone Praying for someone to hear my song These bitter tears have soaked my bones Preaching of what's right when all I do is wrong The silhouette of a black crow guides me on my way Shadows on a paletted night that have no good to say This thin coat can't stop the wind and the rain But the memory of a face makes me burn with shame And I've spent the last 1000 nights alone Praying for someone to hear my song These bitter tears have soaked my bones Preaching of what's right when all I do is wrong And the old cemetery still waits on the hill So I'll drink to my soul 'til I get my fill And I'll drink to all the lost along the way Forsaken by their lovers til the Devil comes for his pay And I've spent the last 1000 nights alone Praying for someone to hear my song These bitter tears have soaked my bones Preaching of what's right when all I do is wrong
