Until She Saves My Soul

(album: We Need Medicine - 2013)

Rip our medicine, cold as stone
Take my money and just drag me home
I'll be hers though she won't be mine
She'll just rescue me for the thousandth time
Uncle Sweetheart and Aunt Marie told me
I'd be rich but I won't be free 'til I
Lose my pride and this twisted face
She won't give no rest 'til she takes my place

She don't need silver, she don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul

All this bliss just won't make me sweat
They won't let me breathe 'cause I can't forget
All those nights I danced with her two lead feet
I was locked in chains, she was incomplete
And though I had brains I was last in line
When they sent her sweet to my slow decline
She had faith she was in no doubt
That my heart would find me some new way out

She don't need silver, she don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul

She don't need silver, she don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul

She was lost in my hall of fame
I was always wrong but I'm not to blame
I'm not neat, not I, I was bought and sold
I was born to believe all these lies I was told
Judge me not cause it won't be long
'Til my cause is righteous and all but gone
Get your kicks in while I am down
You will cry your eyes out when I'm not around

She don't need silver, don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul
Don't need silver, don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told

She won't, she won't, she won't, she won't
She won't give in until she saves my soul

She don't need silver, she don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul

She don't need silver, she don't need gold
She won't give in until she saves my soul
She don't believe anything she's told
She won't give in until she saves my soul
