When he breaks out of prison he drives the cold Missouri night There's strip malls and abandoned mines out on the left and the right He drives into Mt. Olive and the Becker Funeral Home Where his daddy's lying with a cold hard stare, black lung, and broken bones The most dangerous woman in America Is buried on the edge of town Hey look out Ma, another man is going down Well it's darker than a dungeeon down in those abandoned mines And he's drunk in the house of knowledge playing Sixteen Tonnes a thousand times It's colder than a witch's tit when the wind blows through these streets The old mining men in the legion bar, they're staring at their feet The most dangerous woman in America Is buried on thhe edge of town Hey look out Ma another miner's going down Well the wind blows through the empty rooms of a corporation barn There's a little blue man on the kitchen floor shooting sparks into his arm There's a three-car funeral rolling by out on the county line Bye-bye Daddy you're heading down but right now, so am I The most dangerous woman in America is buries on the edge of town Next to the grave where they lay his daddy down Songtexte And that night in the house of knowledge He buys him a .38 And drives out to the discount liquor store on the interstate The most dangerous woman in America Has a tear froze in her eye For the sons and daughters of mining men Who lost their way toinght Well bullets fly and one man dies and one drives off alone To the cemetery at midnight and the grave of Mother Jones Where he whispers low his daddy's name then "mother, I've come to pray And pay For all you've done for the mining men back in the violent day The most dangerous woman in America Smiles deep in the frozen ground And there's sirens coming through a dead end mining town The most dangerous woman in America Is buried on the edge of town Hey look out Ma, another man is going down (Thanks to A for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
