Salvation Lyrics - Terry Allen

From the wrong side of nothin 

To the right side of gone 

He left em all reelin 

With his white bucks on 

And headed out west 

Cross road to the bone 

With the beat of his heart 

And the radio on 

Got the fire in his blood 

Snake on his tongue 

Knows the BIG BOY's a commin 

Better bust em up an run 

SPACESHIPS AND MONKEYS 

EVOLUTION AND BOOZE 

BAR MAIDS AND PISTOLS 

SALIVATION AND FOOLS 

HIGHWAYS AND TENT SHOWS 

CITIES AND TOWNS . 

LOVE'S JUST A CRAPSHOOT 

LAY YOUR MONEY DOWN 

YEAH EVERYTHING'S OVER 

LIKE IT ALL JUST BEGUN 

THAT BIG BOY'S A COMMIN 

BETTER BUST EM UP AN RUN 

Yeah slick-backed his hair 

Dry cleaned his robes 

Delivered his predictions 

Like the prophets of old 

How the blood of the lamb 

From the sheep from the fold 

Rise up in a flood 

An wash away your souls 

And the Devil's just grinnin 

At the thought of the fun 

Of that BIG BOY a commin 

Better bust em up an run 

REAL ESTATE AND JUNKIES 

CANCERS AND ART 

HOMOS AND HETROS 

TOGETHER AND APART 

COMPUTERS AND SKINHEADS 

LIFE AFTER DEATH 

HOLD ON TO THE GOOD BOOK 

BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH 

YEAH IT'S ALREADY OVER 

THE END JUST BEGUN 

AH THE BIG BOY'S A COMMIN 

BETTER BUST EM UP AN RUN 

With his head in the city 

And his heart out of town 

He preached on the corners 

Of it all commin down 

Grab hold to your children 

Gather your pets 

He been here before 

But you ain seen nothin yet 

Gonna light up your world 

Let her burn til she done 

Yeah BIG BOYs a commin 

Better bust cm up an run 

Said ABORTION AND SPORTS 

NEW AGE AND THE NEWS 

PORNO AND CHILDCARE 

ARABS AND JEWS 

MURDER AND WEATHER 

HUSBANDS ANDWIVES 

MIGHT BE THE LAST DAY 

OF THE REST OF YOUR LIVES 

AH THE DICE ARE ROLLIN 

AND THAT TRAIN'S COMMIN ON 

YEAH THE BIG BOYS A COMMIN 

BETTER BUST EM UP AN RUN 

meanwhile, 

Duck talking to the sky. 

Hello Daddy 

Hello Momma 

Hello old friends 

Angels of the mystery 

Flying out flying in 

There ain't no way 

That's the way it goes 

And heaven is just an adjustment 

That moves on down the road
