the wilder blue - bless my bones lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well we landed in seattle feeling barely half alive
it was round about 4:30 in the morning of ’85
i was one crispy critter from two weeks on the road
seeing myself in the mirror man it showed

well we loaded up the bus with the cold rain drizzlin’
drivin’ back to texas to play a show with midland
i climbed up in the cab and jammed her down in gear
drove along those highways for what seemed like years

[chorus]
well bless my bones and show me to the stage
i pull my hat low so i don’t show my age
do a little dance and give ’em all a grin
undernеath the lights i’ll come alive again

[verse 2]
wеll i drove away the daylight and there was no place to park
so i kept the hammer down rollin’ thunder through the dark
townes van zandt singin’ snowing on raton
as i climbed over the mountain pass in a construction zone

i come around a curve to see a semi in my lane
headlights blindin’, h+rn blarin’ like a train
he had his big breaks screamin’ like demons in the hills
missed us by an inch, and man it gave me cold chills
[chorus]
well bless my bones and show me to the stage
i pull my hat low so i don’t show my age
do a little dance and give ’em all a grin
underneath the lights i’ll come alive again

[verse 3]
the band was drinkin’ beer and becks, spillin’ it on the floor
however much they drink there was always one more
i was jammin’ the oldies, good ole fiddle and steel
as the moonlight made my hands look bone white on the wheel

now i guess i never noticed the tank never went dry
troopers never looked up when we went speedin’ by
by the time the sun came up we were feelin’ mighty fine
we gave a whoopin’ holler when we crossed the texas line

[verse 4]
the show was goin’ down at a place called cook’s garage
finally up ahead i saw the sign like a mirage
pulled up to the entrance and a fella said, who are you?
i said well i’m zane williams and we’re the wilder blue

well i never saw a look quite like the one he gave me
over his shoulder i read what it said on the marquee
midland reunited for one final show
he said, the wilder blue died in a bus crash, must have been 30 years ago
[chorus]
well bless my bones and show me to the stage
i pull my hat low so i don’t show my age
do a little dance and give ’em all a grin
underneath the lights we’ll come alive again

[chorus reprise]
well bless my bones and we’ll play you a tune
while all the pretty people[?] go howlin’ at the moon
do a little dance and give ’em all a grin
underneath the lights i’ll come alive again
