BRUISED ORANGE
by John Prine
interpreted by Ray Allis
GMy heart's in the ice house
2) I've been brought down to zero
come hill or come valley
2) pulled out and put back there
like a Clong ago Sunday
2) I sat on a park bench
when I walked through the alley
2) kissed the girl with the black hair
on a Gcold winters morning
2) and my head shouted down
to the Dchurch house
2) to my heart
just to shovel some Gsnow
2) you better look out below
I heard sirens on the train tracks
2) Well it ain't such a long drop
howl naked , gettin nuder
2) don't stammer, don't studder
an Calter boy had been hit
2) from the diamonds in the sidewalk
by a local comuter
2) to the dirt in the gutter
just from Gwalking with his back turned
2) you'll be carrying those bruises
to a Dtrain
2) to remind you
that was coming so Gslow G7
2) wherever you go
(CHORUS)
You can Cgaze out the window
get mad and get madder
throw your Ghands in the air
and say what does it matter
but it Ddon't do no good
to get Cangry
so help me I Gknow G7
for a Cheart stained with anger
grows weak and grows bitter
you Gbecome your own prisoner
as you watch yourself sit there
wrapped up in a Dtrap
of your very Cown
chain of Gsorrow
3) (Repeat first verse and chorus)
