Your footsteps
No longer do they fall
And echo within these four walls
Walked out the door and followed that devil in your mind
Damn that whiskey
And damn that soldier’s joy
Dared to steal a man from his baby boy
Never again to feel the caress of your loving wife
Chorus:
Some old day
I’ll get you off of my mind
Tear out that damn old kudzu vine
Leave this lonely life and hop on that midnight line
Take this babe
Take this babe from my breast
I can’t get me no good rest
And he looks just like that no good man of mine
Once we burned
With a fire so deep
Kept us warm through our winter’s sleep
Now the wind blows cinder and ash through my life
