Emmit Meets a Demon

Emmitt Meets a Demon

Midnight in Mississippi
It came a knockin’
On my door
I know what you’ve been up to
Said so the lady
At the general store

Please sir don’t let me linger
I am a victim
Of what you say
Come back…offer your judgement
But don’t let justice
Get in your way

I hear…my heart beating
I feel the blood drain
From my veins
Better concrete and barbed wire
The weepin’ willows
Cry in vain

Seven winged ladies
Lay across my cut and bloody feet
Sufferin’ in silence
Prayin’ for my soul to keep
