Beauty Way Eliza Gilkyson http://www.elizagilkyson.com (Joan Baez's latest features two of Eliza's songs.)
CMy father made a pretty Gdamn good living CPlaying music on the BeaGuty Way CHe’s gonna die with soGme money in his pocket DWish I could do the sameEm today Glittle darling DWish I could do the sameEm today
Doe eyed kid and a little transistor Tuned into Wolfman Jjack I picked up a guitar heard the sirens whisper And I never looked back little darling And I never looked back I worked the clubs along the Sangre de Cristos? Polished the diamond in the rough By the time I hit L.A. I was hotter than a pistol But you’re never hot enough little darling You never really hot enough I felt the lights on the big, big stages The fire burning in my soul I’ve had those nights when my guitar rages But it’s not something you control little darling It’s not something you control Redtail diving for a rat on Sunset Coyote picking through the trash Oh I wish I was lying like a cat in the sun ‘stead of working like a dog for the cash little darling I’m only working for the cash Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord And my soul or my money I could save Oh but every time I say I’m gonna quit the Beauty Way I hear my bones just turning in their grave little darling Bones turning in their grave D -- Em yeah yeah D -- Em yeah D -- Em yeah yeah yeah D -- Em yeah yeah yeah yeah (ram AT mukundan.net)
