National Steel

Mind your step as you make your way

Through the church in to this world of sand

Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin'

With a long slow drag

She welcomes you in where you'll be

Dancing in the low light

Sweat dripping down like a dew

Scratchin' metal and a cry and moan

Riding in a bottle in the back of a room

Fire, fire from the inside

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain

Mercy, comes after midnight

While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel

Took its smile on a wild rose

Born in the heat of the south

Your kisses they went to my head like a whiskey

She was a bootlegged love with her stockings rolled down

People cried to cry as a wolf starts to howl, howled like a midnight train

Roll on, roll on, rolled like a river

A shot of burning silver pounding through my feet like fire

Fire, fire from the inside

Rhythm like a hurricane rain

Mercy, comes after midnight

While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel

Mind your step as you make your way

Through the church in to this world of sand

Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin'

With a long slow drag

She welcomes you in where you'll be

Dancing in the low light

With the sweat dripping down like a dew

Scratchin' metal with a cry and moan

And riding in a bottle at the back of the room

Fire, fire from the inside

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain

Mercy, comes after midnight

Wash me down, washin me down

Fire, from the inside

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain

Mercy, comes after midnight

Wash me down with the sound of your National Steel

National Steel

Hmmm alright
