Liquor stores and smoke shops
Pretty girls in magazines
Driving up to that Quick Stop
For a dollar's worth of gasoline
Hookers at the station
By that seedy motel sign
Hear her tapping at the window
For that twenty dollar ride
She had skin of alabaster
Feeling pretty in the dark
Burning all our matches
Tripping out on stars
Trying to sing hallelujah
But had forgotten how it goes
Let the devil introduce you
To Murfreesboro Road
We started out as strangers
Heading for the Promised Land
Her mama's heart was broken
And me, just a broken man
Checking into Midway
That No-Tell by the hour
Poison in our pockets
Enough to ring the batman tower
She had skin of alabaster
Feeling pretty in the dark
Burning all our matches
Tripping out on stars
Trying to sing hallelujah
But had forgotten how it goes
Let the devil introduce you
To Murfreesboro Road
A smile like Mona Lisa
Just as sad as it could be
She must have had a hard life
To be lying here next to me
She had skin of alabaster
Feeling pretty in the dark
Burning all our matches
Tripping out on stars
Trying to sing hallelujah
But had forgotten how it goes
Let the devil introduce you
To Murfreesboro Road
Let the devil introduce you
To Murfreesboro Road
