I Thought I Heard You Screaming - Benjamin Booker

It’s a lonely walk

With a load like that my girl

You ain’t seen no love since that man walked out your door

Harder, still

You think you can’t tell no one

You’re God died back in ‘94

With a needle, with a needle and a gun

Caught your leg on a branch from a willow tree

You got blood in your eyes, girl

Thought I heard you screaming—

That man took every part of me

I lost my will along the highway—marker 54

She said «oh, they don’t make men like that no more»

Honey, they sure don’t

Set yourself on fire so high so high

I could feel your heart was speeding

Did you love me or was it the drugs?

And the life we’re living now will surely bury me
