Jazz

I woke this mornin with the Devil on my trail
Got a pocket full of nothin and a heart about to fail
Storm clouds gather where my shadow ought to be
Two steps behind me is the trouble meant for me
I hear it breathin in the gravel at my heel
Bad luck follows closer than a secret you cant conceal

Oh Lord hear me cryin though my words fall low
I drag this broken spirit where the cold winds blow

Mama told me once boy you were born in a crooked line
Every road you walk turns bitter with the brine
River keeps risin though the sky stays dry
And the crow on the fence dont never blink an eye
I keep on runnin but the world wont let me through
Two steps behind me is the sorrow I always knew

Oh Lord hear me cryin though my words fall low
I drag this broken spirit where the cold winds blow
If fortune ever loved me she left no sign
Cause the bad luck follows me like a dog on a rusty chain of mine

I tried workin in the fields till my hands went stone
Tried prayin for an answer but the Lord stayed gone
I dropped a coin in the river hopin fate might bend
But the ripple came back whisperin boy there aint no end
I see footprints in the dirt that aint quite mine
Two steps behind me is the shadow I cant define

If fortune ever loved me she left no sign
Cause the bad luck follows me like a dog on a rusty chain of mine

If the train comes rollin I might climb aboard
Let the engine drown the curses Ive stored
But I know deep down on that rattlin line
Trouble rides the caboose waitin for my sign

Oh Lord hear me cryin though my words fall low
I drag this broken spirit where the cold winds blow
If fortune ever loved me she left no sign
Cause the bad luck follows me like a dog on a rusty chain of mine

And when I lay down in the earth so still
Two steps behind me trouble waits there still

Oh Lord hear me cryin
