Always be… Sally in Blue Flames, there
Flirting with the guys and singing them bad old songs
It all went wrong… I’d take myself way back there
Through the rough swing doors where they spit on the floor
You keep your boots on in bed, she’ll make a pillow for your head
Then she takes you dancing through the rhythm
of that long and lonesome night
The rhythm of the lonesome night
Deep in the canyon where the bones of the old ones lie
Where the fiery river flow and the moonshine calls her name
Up in the air, the old crow sees it all
He’s a mean old bird whose forgotten every word
Of the promises I broke which all went up in smoke
When I took my chance on running, way out
Across the border line
Way out across the border line
CHORUS
Oh Sally, these dreams are growing old
Oh Sally, my freedom has been sold
My hope rusts like a lock out in the rain
Looking for redemption on that southbound train
But I lie in chains
I lie in chains
Always be… Sally in Blue Flames, there
She’s a handsome girl despite the lines across her face
One thing I know: she won’t talk of me no more
But sometimes in the night when she turns out the light
I hope she can recall in the days before the fall
When she took me dancing through the rhythm
of that long and lonesome night
The rhythm of the lonesome night

about
Steve Bonham and The Long Road England, UK
A swampy brew of styles mixed from both sides of the ocean, characterised by sharp lyrics, great melodies and the fab sound of acoustic instruments being played with passion and purpose. It’s a kind of music that appeals to the renegade and outlaw in us all. ... more
