Sallisaw Blue Songtext
von John Moreland

One two, one go
Arkansas River, Sallisaw Blues
This town never seen nothin′ like you
They got silver spoons for American gods
I wanna be stoned, thrown American rods

I don't own anythin′, you don't know shit
With your bloodshot eyes givin' my black heart fits
There′s a neon sign that says ′Big Bad Luv'
And a noose hangin′ down from the heavens above


It's no use, God bless these blues
Let′s get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shattered

Down for the count, along for the ride
Sippin′ cold medicine, ruinin' our lives
Slummin' I-40 with American songs
They can bury our bodies in American wrongs

It′s no use, God bless these blues
Let′s get wrecked and bruised and battered
I need you, come on, burn right through
Honey, show me I'm not shattered

A neon sign that says ′Big Bad Luv'
There′s a noose hangin' down from the heavens above
