Gold

Got a tattoo of a snake And a ski mask on my face But I woke up in a ditch Behind the Stop 'n Go Lying in the weeds With a bullet in my gut Watching dollar bills Fly away in the dust

Now the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground But I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town

There was a girl with dark eyes And hair shining black And it ran like a river Wild down her back But these wide empty streets And the air shaking with heat They made me hungry Hungry to do something mean

Now the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground But I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town

The Stop 'n Go's closed The coyotes they moan And the wind's rolling beer Cans down the street

But the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground And I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town
