lyrics

momma sky reach down and hold
this worn out heart of man
walking out on that ledge of metal
hammer in a worn out hand

used to drive to suzy’s meadow
smoke that mary jane
she went home to god
god help me
I just ain’t the same

I remember that cold tap water
dripping like a dead drum line
I didn’t wanna see those weary eyes cry

my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind

leaning on the steely rivets
heavens window sill
walking out on that ledge I shiver
higher and higher still
I used to bleed all over
I used to rock and roll
I used to dance with suzy in the backyard of my soul

and i remember those baby blues
looking at me like a child
sayin’ come on lemme in, I’m something wild

my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind

morning comes and bowls me over
like it always does
up here welding towers
with the angels and the rust
I like to think of suzy in that mustang '69
sitting shotgun
tearing down the backroads of my mind

and now that bird of truth is perched
upon my bolts and beams
and when she crows I wake up from a dream

my sorrow is a black fire breathing mustang '69
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind
just burning down summer in the back roads of my mind
