Mat d. and the Profane Saints: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Nails and grease, grit and grime...blood and sweat. The very things that move the land, tow the line and power our lives. An old timey themed stomp that replaces the burning bush with a box car and an angel for a dust bowl babe dancing barefoot in her underwear. If the Lord won't take you...the devil will.

gal in rags a bone dry gulch
old tin roof and a roundhouse floor
gal in rags working on the motor
but the big iron beast won't howl no more

nails and grease pitching and a hollering
box car burning on a sacred hill
nails and grease step into the fire
if the Lord won't take you then the devil will

dust bowl babe dancing to the rhythm
with protest flag and a mule skin drum
dust bowl babe dancing in her britches
going to pound that earth till her feet go numb
nails and grease water in the bucket
of a girl ghost tapping on the window sill
nails and grease drop you in the coffin
if the Lord won't take you then the devil will

gal in rags bone dry gulch
old tin roof and roundhouse floor
gal in rags working on the motor
but the big iron beast won't howl no more
nails and grease pitching and a hollering
box car burning on a sacred hill
nails and grease step into the fire
if the Lord won't take you then the devil will

if Lord won't take you then the devil will
