The Shadow of a Black Crow Lyrics

I am levitating
Somewhere down the road
With a price on my head
And the shadow of a black crow, yeah
He′s been on my tail
For close to three days
Just a little souvenir
Of my wicked ways

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father, forgive me, what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow

I got a box of reds
And a bottle of blues
Comes a time in your life
Honey, you gotta choose
My belly′s on fire
From the acid of the truth
All the untold lies
Of my misspent youth

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father, forgive me, what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow

It's pretty when you′re young
Just a pity when you′re old, yeah
Am I running away?
Or am I closer to home?

The lines and the signs
And the miles go by
No one ever bothered
To even ask me why
So I am disappearing
Into this road
With a six-pack of sorrow
And the shadow of a black crow

I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father, forgive me, what my mother don't know
The scratch marks on my soul
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
Father, forgive me, what my mother don′t know
The scratch marks on my soul
From the shadow of a black crow
