Dont at the night shade
My hands tremble and shake
My mind how it worries
My body how it aches
The angel on my left
Keeps a devil inside
Give me one more drink
To get me through this night
Down a the Nightshade
The owner's TB Hopkins
He's a son of a witch
Keeps a gun in the shadows
With a knife on his hip
The door's always open
Should you need to confide
He'll take the word of a beggar
And let the rich man to die
Down at the Nightshade
Dark side of the highway
More wrong than there's right
That's where you find me
Like a dog in the night
Shaking hands
Broken body
Im bending at the knee
Come and drag me
Out of this hell would you please?
At the Nightshade
Down at the Nightshade
The air's thicker than the mud
Bartender's dying and the women are out for blood
The liquor runs hotter than the piss stench and beer
It'll turn a bad man to Jesus
Just to get out of here
Down at the Nightshade
Dark side of the highway
More wrong than there's right
That's where you find me
Like a dog in the night
Shaking hands
Broken body
Im bending at the knee
Come and drag me
Out of this hell would you please?
At the Nightshade
