Emmylou Harris - Return Of The Grievous Angel

Emmylou Harris

Return Of The Grievous Angel

(Gram Parsons - T. O'Brown)

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll tell you how it all went down.

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you.

We flew straight across that river bridge
Last night half past two
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye
And good day as we went rolling through.

Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
'Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
Across those valleys with those waves of grain
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.

--- Instrumental ---

The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And headed out for some desert town.

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you.

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you...

Mirror lyrics:

And they all lead me straight back home to you...
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

And they all lead me straight back home to you.
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And a good saloon in every single town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And headed out for some desert town.
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
On his head an amphetamine crown
The news I could bring I met up with the king

--- Instrumental ---

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
Across those valleys with those waves of grain
'Cause I headed west to grow up with the country
And now I know just what I have to do
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

And good day as we went rolling through.
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye
Last night half past two
We flew straight across that river bridge

And they all lead me straight back home to you.
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And a good saloon in every single town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And I'll tell you how it all went down.
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And welcome me back to town
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
