Abilene Grime

In the grime of an Abilene alleyway
I got my head cradled in my hands
Bet they ain't never heard the voice of God
Way down here kid
Way down here

I never thought that I could be
Brought back down to my knees
But here I am alone and lost
About to bleed out from a rifle shot

And I'm cursing the heavens
And the stars up above
For the rain that turns the dirt to mud
And my addicted blood
Its funny that I used to think
That I knew myself
But there's a darkness deep inside
Draggin' me to hell
Draggin' me to hell
Draggin' me to hell
Draggin' me to hell

I drank my fill of the blood of the Christ
I've seen the kind of lonesome
When real faith dies
I'm on my knees in purgatory
Pray for a little bit of his fadin' light

Revenge like the devil's kiss
Revenge like the devil's kiss
Revenge like the devil's kiss
Revenge like the devil's kiss
