Blood on the Marigolds

She's got an old school soul And a new school touch Old man was a ghost Mama worked too much He never got that close To the people he loved She told me all of this Without so much as a nudge Still got her family farm Her pride and fast cars One hand on the wheel Her whole head in the stars I guess that's how you feel When you've seen what she saw Blood on the marigolds In the shape of a cross. Now she's dancin' with the devil 'cause her heart turned cold She can't unsee Blood on the marigolds Now she dances with me Blood on the marigolds Ohh, ohh Blood on the marigolds So now it's drive too fast Smoke 'til she's numb Drinks from a flask 'cause the bottle's all gone She took her chance To escape the heat But truth be told She's drivin' for me I know a guy who swears He can talk to the dead Told me 'bout the cross And who was bled The things she can't unsee And the words left unsaid The blood on marigolds It's true, what she said Now she's dancin' with the devil 'cause her heart turned cold She can't unsee Blood on the marigolds Now she dances with me Blood on the marigolds Ohh, ohh Blood on the marigolds Dust on the dash A prayer she won’t sing Me ridin' shotgun All smiles, and schemes She’s runnin' on fumes And a soul wearin' thin Thinks she's Escapin' the field Of marigold sin Last night she swore She’d leave it behind Burned down the fields With a match and a sigh But the past rides along Don't give a toss Blood on the marigolds In the shape of a cross
