Downward Road - Mavis Staples

The world out there is like a hornets' nest

It draws the life out of the good and feeds their blood to the rest

You’ll be a memory soon baby, and so will I

So kiss me open-mouthed, 'cause we’re too young to die

We’re on the downroad road

We’re on the downroad road

We’re on the downroad road

Crawling towareds the bitter end

Things are going fine now, but your luck could change

You could find yourself the victim of someone’s unholy rage

So put your pretty lips where they can do some good

You might think that you shouldn’t

But I really wish you would

Yeah we’re so close now, I’m in as deep as I’ll get

Your hair is soaked, your skin is slippery wet

The world outside our window is about to explode

Well, so am I sugar, so baby save my soul
