The Powder
Shadowy faces changing all with charm
Shooting up their living into their arm
Getting high live or die sound the alarm
Walking on the tightwire dismissing harm
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
When you hear that cell door shut that first time
No matter what you did you regret the crime
Ain’t no virgins around hear giving birth
Each day in every way you prove your worth
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
Horrors within gives life to horror without
Make the most of my days soon I’ll be out
Yesterday is a lesson for today
Faith is what you do after you pray
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
Sweet Jesus this cross is burning in my veins
I have hope but it’s running down the drains
The miracles on cable television are a fraud
But my mind has been touched by the Son of God
Think I’ll change my name and write mystery books
Got first hand stories of so many crooks
I’m gonna be big ride some shooting star
But the best gift is knowing who you are
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
The Big Book Of Song Lyrics, Check It Out!!
