Been On A Barbed Wire Highway 40 Days And Nights
I Ain't Complainin', It's My Job And It Suits Me Right
I Got A Sweet Soft Fever Rushin' Around My Head
I'm Gonna Sleep Tonight In Maria's Bed

Got On A Dead Man Suit And Smilin' Skull Ring
Lucky Graveyard Boots And A Song To Sing
I Keep My Heart In My Work But Trouble's In My Head
And I Keep My Soul In Maria's Bed

I Been Up On Sugar Mountain, Cross The Sweet Blue Seas
I Walked The Valley Of Love And Tears And Mystery
I Got Run Out'a Luck And Give Myself Up For Dead
And I Drank The Cool Clear Waters From Maria's Bed

She Give Me Candy Stick Kisses 'neath A Wolf Dog Moon
One Sweet Breath And She'll Take You Mister To The Upper Room
I Was Burned By The Angels, Sold Wings Of Lead
Then I Fell In The Roses And Sweet Salvation Of Maria's Bed

I Been Out In The Desert Yeah Doin' My Time
Searchin' Through The Dust For Fools Gold, Lookin' For A Sign
Holy Man Said Hold On Brother There's A Light Up Ahead
Ain't Nothing Like A Light That Shines On Me In Maria's Bed

Well I'll Take My Blessings At The Riverhead
I'm Living In The Light Of Maria's Bed
