Sauget Wind Lyrics - Singles - Uncle Tupelo

It's a long way to heaven 

It's a short way to hell 

Painkillers won't help 

When the weight's not yourself 

They're poisoning the air 

For personal wealth 

It's a long way to heaven 

It's a short way to hell 

I don't know what I'm breathing for 

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore 

The weatherman says fair 

But he looks like a lie 

Nothing's free in this country 

And there's no place to hide, no more 

Industrial wind 

It blows from the west 

It'll burn out your eyes 

And suck out your breath 

It's waiting in the wings 

For damage down the line 

Save your tears for the soaps 

Leave your money behind 

I don't know what I'm breathing for 

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore 

The weatherman says fair 

But he looks like a lie 

Nothing's free in this country 

And there's no place to hide, no more 

No place to hide, no more
