Mat d. and the Profane Saints: Music

North Star

Backroads all twisted and turning in venerable whispers
where the diesel and smoke left the gasoline ghosts grey and blistered
and the drone of that engine led my heart astray on an unending drive to our reckoning day

Gonna ride that old paint to the crossroads and lay down beside her
where the sky turns to dust and the damned are the only survivors
you're the old time religion love raised from the grave
you're the fire in the sky baby show me the way

Backroads all twisted and turning in venerable whispers
where the diesel and smoke left the gasoline ghosts grey and blistered
gonna ride that old paint to the crossroads tonight where the sky turns to dust
and the damned still survive

You're the old time religion love raised from the grave you're the North Star in heaven
girl show me the way.

Shine down a light
