Maria S Bed lyrics

Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
I ain`t complainin`, it`s my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soft fever rushin` around my head
I`m gonna sleep tonight in Maria`s bed

Got on a dead man suit and smilin` skull ring
Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work but trouble`s in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria`s bed

I been up on sugar mountain, cross the sweet blue seas
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery
I got run out`a luck and give myself up for dead
And I drank the cool clear waters from Maria`s bed

She give me candy stick kisses `neath a wolf dog moon
One sweet breath and she`ll take you mister to the upper room
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead
Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria`s bed

I been out in the desert yeah doin` my time
Searchin` through the dust for fools gold, lookin` for a sign
Holy man said "hold on brother there`s a light up ahead"
Ain`t nothing like a light that shines on me in Maria`s bed

Well I`ll take my blessings at the riverhead
I`m living in the light of Maria`s bed
