Crow Jane

Well now, Crow Jane don’t make no sense to me
She left me hanging from the poplar tree
No I never ever felt so free
Look at, mama, what you’re doin’ to me

'Cause it ain’t no difference which way I smile
I ain’t good lookin’ from a quarter mile
Once had a women called me angel child
My reputation keeps me on trial

But who’s gonna save me from myself?
Gotta lay the blame on someone else

Somehow I ain’t got no hope
'Cause I’m still runnin’ from the sheriff’s rope
My shoes don’t fit me 'cause they filled with dope
Crow Jane quit me and I just can’t cope

But all I know is that I’ll still run
And pledge allegiance to the settin’ sun
I must've lost 'cause Crow Jane won
I’ll never learn from anything I’ve done

Crow Jane’s the strangest thing that ever talked
Lips of honey but of tongues of chalk
Feet may be crooked but sure can walk
Took my money left me in shock

Got so many matches that it makes me sick
So many habits that I just can’t kick
So many women that I just can’t trick
She burnt like a candlestick

But who’s gonna save me from myself?
Gotta lay the blame on somebody else

But somehow I ain’t got no hope
'Cause I’m still runnin’ from the sheriff’s rope
My shoes don’t fit me 'cause they filled with dope
Crow Jane quit me and I just can’t cope

But all I know is that I’ll still run
And pledge allegiance to the settin’ sun
I must've lost 'cause Crow Jane won
I’ll never learn from anything I’ve done

Well Crow Jane ain’t nothing but a painful case
She left me sucking on my own disgrace
She’s off trucking at a cheatin’ pace
And a lawless life is all I can embrace

Dress like a preacher so I can’t be found
Chase Crow Jane from town to town
I smell her brain so she much be around
Just like my pain, the sun goes down

But who’s gonna save me from myself?
Gotta lay the blame on someone else

Somehow I ain’t got no hope
'Cause I’m still runnin’ from the sheriff’s rope
My shoes don’t fit me 'cause they filled with dope
Crow Jane quit me and I just can’t cope

But all I know is that I’ll still run
And pledge allegiance to the settin’ sun
I must've lost 'cause Crow Jane won
I’ll never learn from anything I’ve done
