Black

I keep finding darker days Though I'm lookin' for the light The tax man's tryin' to get paid And I can't seem to sleep at night Preacher says the sunshine Gonna show its face again But my crops been lookin' dry I thank God for the dark clouds that I see rollin' in Rollin' in Whispered words still get around As if they're carried by the wind Read Genesis to Revelation But still I find my way to sin Cigarettes and alcohol Gonna be the ruin of my name Fast women in a slow town Take a good-hearted man turn him in to a cryin' shame I know the Lord can give it all And take it all back I'm just tryin' to get out of the red And into the black Into the black You see Lovers come and lovers go Just like the turnin' of the tide Some can make you want to settle down Some just take you for a ride Me, I'm still workin' for a livin' Every day I do my time But it seems to get me nowhere Cause the Devil knows how to take a man for every single dime I know the Lord can give it all And take it all back I'm just tryin' to get out of the red And into black Oh yeah Into the black
