Crooked Mile

(Album: Almost Daylight - 2019)

Her coal black eyes and her heartbroke smile
Followed me down a crooked mile
Everybody says we ain't no good
We ain't going back even if we could
Back in the woods where the law don't go
Down in the holler where the wind don't blow
Gonna raise us a family make us a home
We'll be alright if they leave us alone

I ain't ever had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
Ain't even been living till I found you

She followed me down a crooked mile
She ain't got no spite ain't got guile
She won't let me quit won't let me run
Holding me tight sleeping by her gun

I ain't ever had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
Ain't even been living till I found you

Her coal black eyes and her heartbroke smile
Followed me down a crooked mile
Everybody says we ain't no good
We ain't going back even if we could

I ain't ever had nothing
I ain't never had nothing to hold on to
I ain't even been living
Ain't even been living till I found you

I ain't ever had nothing
I ain't never had nothing till I found you
