Audrey Auld Petals (for Jon Dee) lyrics

There's mud in your eye
Your teeth are stained
Your mind is dark
Your life is pain

You drink blackwater
Smoke a troubled pipe
Dally the day
Rock all night

You're gentle, savage
Brutally damaged
There's an ape on your back
Your voice is ravaged

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone

There's blood on your clothes
Holes in your shirt
Your heart fell out
You poke at the hurt

Tobacco and ink
And a smoking guitar
You cheated death
In your wrecked up car

Your bones are cracked
Your back is broken
It's better to write
What can't be spoken

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone


They called you a cult
Under the radar
Fed your ego
Called you a player

You sold your rights
But not your soul
They broke your bank
Stuck you in a hole

Then the cow ran dry
The milk won't come
They turn you away
Find another one

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone

You love your boys
You fight your exes
Prodigious son
Of roughneck Texas

King of Austin
Prince of pain
You're swept away
But you remain

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
