Josh Murphy - Sour Lake Blues Lyrics




I was a free man
I had nothing to lose
Then I got stranded
Down by Baton Rogue

Caged up with a Lion
But I got out alive
Bleeding out my belly
I put my heart on ice

Then I met a stranger
Dark & wild eyes
She made me up a manger
I made her up a Christ

Bunkered down with blood & honey
Bellied up with blame & shame
Though I didn't earn their clothing
My back holds their estate

Try to see the angle
Try to understand the game
Though there's breakfast on the table
That don't mean you can stay

I'll be leaving in the morning
Singing Sour Lake Blues
By The Old & Lost River
Paying back my sins accrued

I ain't looking for your mercy
I ain't looking for your praise
Just let this be a warning
Lest you wind up in that cage
