Prairie House Redemption

(album: 30 - 2012)

All the people ask me where I've been
Where I'm from, where I'm from
Down the muddy banks to a place
Out on the edge of town
I've been down, I've been down
To the Prarie House

Lay your money down on the barrel head
By the door, with your gun
You won't need your gun
And don't you cross the Reverend
On a Thursday night in a game of stud
Son, you're gonna lose, you're gonna lose
The doorman knew

So here's to you and I at the end of the day
Forgiving all the wrongs we've made
We can set them up and lay them all down
Singing this is where we're bound
Where we're bound

Yeah, the judge's wife sits behind the bar
And she'll set them up
She'll set you straight, she'll set you straight
Oh, the sheriff is a bluesman
And he'll sing a song
Sing along, sing along
Sing every song

Here's to you and I at the end of the day
Forgiving all the wrongs we've made
We can set them up and lay them all down
Singing this is where we're bound
Where we're bound

Oh Lord, please walk with us
On our not so narrow way
Oh Lord, please be with us
Can't you hear this old house pray?
