Ghost Lee Waters - Hellfire Blues

Smoke on my shoulders, Ash in my breath. Yeah, smoke on my shoulders, Ash in my breath. Every step I’m takin’ Feel like walkin’ to death. Flames lick the highway, Cinders in my shoes. Lord, flames lick the highway, Cinders in my shoes. Ain’t no road deliver me, Only these hellfire blues. Got them hellfire blues, Burnin’ hotter than the truth. Yeah, the night is my witness, But the fire’s my proof. Ain’t no mercy in the embers, Ain’t no light I can use. I’m just burnin’, baby, With these hellfire blues. I begged for water, But the well ran dry. Yeah, I begged for water, But the well ran dry. Devil keep laughin’, While the smoke choke the sky. Got them hellfire blues, Burnin’ hotter than the truth. Yeah, the night is my witness, But the fire’s my proof. Ain’t no mercy in the embers, Ain’t no light I can use. I’m just burnin’, baby, With these hellfire blues. Ashes for a pillow, Cinders for a bed. Lord, ashes for a pillow, Cinders for a bed. I lay down in the fire, With the flames in my head. Got them hellfire blues, Burnin’ hotter than the truth. Yeah, my soul’s in the furnace, Ain’t no savior, ain’t no truce. I’m a shadow in the ashes, Nothin’ left to lose… Just burnin’ forever, With these hellfire blues. Hellfire blues… Burnin’ me down to the bone.
