National Steel Lyrics - Colin James

Mind your step as you make your way 

Through the church in to this world of sand 

Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin' 

With a long slow drag 

She welcomes you in where you'll be 

Dancing in the low light 

Sweat dripping down like a dew 

Scratchin' metal and a cry and moan 

Riding in a bottle in the back of a room 

Fire, fire from the inside 

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain 

Mercy, comes after midnight 

While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel 

Took its smile on a wild rose 

Born in the heat of the south 

Your kisses they went to my head like a whiskey 

She was a bootlegged love with her stockings rolled down 

People cried to cry as a wolf starts to howl, 

Howled like a midnight train 

Roll on, roll on, rolled like a river 

A shot of burning silver pounding through my feet like fire 

Fire, fire from the inside 

Rhythm like a hurricane rain 

Mercy, comes after midnight 

While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel 

Mind your step as you make your way 

Through the church in to this world of sand 

Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin' 

With a long slow drag 

She welcomes you in where you'll be 

Dancing in the low light 

With the sweat dripping down like a dew 

Scratchin' metal with a cry and moan 

And riding in a bottle at the back of the room 

Fire, fire from the inside 

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain 

Mercy, comes after midnight 

Wash me down, washin' me down, 

Fire, from the inside 

Rhythm, like a hurricane rain 

Mercy, comes after midnight 

Wash me down with the sound of your National Steel 

National Steel 

Hm alright
