At a hooker’s house full of sins and crimes
A vagabond preacher telling sacred lies
Bout the good ol’ times we’ve all given up
But no one really listens, no one gives a fuck
He’s got a bible in his wounded hand
Spitting furious sermons ‘bout a promised land
Totin’ a rifle round his big right shoulder
While his shiny barrel still smolders
Preacher man got…
High on his Bible
High on his rifle
High on a god-led survival
High on findin’ another rival
High on his Bible and rifle
High on a god-led survival
High on findin’ another rival
High on his Bible and rifle
Came the former jester, a small bold dreamer
Pushed back against the vagabond preacher
All hookers, pimps and johns pricked their ears
Took his words and bullets and shoved them in his rear
They shot the bible in his wounded hand
Laughing out his sermons ‘bout a promised land
They took the rifle from his big right shoulder
Quenched his barrel to stop its smolder
Chorus
Chorus
I got my six-string, I got my worn out shoes
I got my suitcase packed and a – a bottle of blues
On lonely roads I walked a thousand miles
To find a place for me but failed in all my trials
Getting rid of my big load of stones
Tryna get used to some softer tones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Oh, let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones tonight
I lost my faith, I lost my good ol’ friend
I lost my freedom, guess it all gotta end
I had some money, but I’ve spent it all
On women ‘n’ dope and one last call for alcohol
Getting rid of my big load of stones
Tryna get used to some softer tones
Chorus
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Oh, let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Chorus
If I had possession over judgement day
Girl, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t shy away
Tryna pretend you’re an angel in disguise
(‘Cause) I can see the lust in your devil eyes
Turn me on – Go wild on me
Let me be the one you keep from sanity
Rip me off – Play tricks on me
I don’t care ‘bout any false morality
Sex me up – Slow ride on me
Baby, take me out of my reality
Tie me down – Throw dirt on me
It’s a thin line ‘tween pride and vanity
Girl gone bad
Girl gone bad
Girl gone bad
Baby, put on your lovely angel face grin
We will make this phony world go down in sin
No, don’t you worry we ain’t doin’ no crime
(See) You and I will have just a mighty good time
Chorus
You’re my girl gone bad
And I’m all up on you
You’re my girl gone bad
I know you want it too
Chorus
