"Creosote" lyrics - ASHLEY MCBRYDE

Skinny white knees, ain't no breeze
Down by the trestle
Blackberry grin running down her chin
Dark as pitch oil
Lying on our backs right by the tracks
Ain't gonna want no supper

[Chorus:]
Don't cry for me, oh, when I die
Just mark my grave with a railroad tie
In an old pine box, honey, lay me low
And seal it up with creosote

Me and Randy Joe, we know where to go
When we gotta get closer
We run and found a little patch of ground
Where the cars pass over
Stars looking down
I lost it to the sound of a Carolina freight line howling

[Chorus:]
Don't cry for me, oh, when I die
Just mark my grave with a railroad tie
I ain't got no use for streets of gold (For streets of gold)
No, honey, Heaven smells like creosote

[Bridge:]
If where I'm going looks like where I've been
They're 'bout to paint my wings black as sin

[Instrumental break]

Come on

[Chorus:]
Don't cry for me (Don't cry for me), honey, when I die (Honey, when I die)
You better mark my grave with a railroad tie (Mark my grave with a railroad tie)
In an old pine box (Ooh), honey, lay me low (Ooh)
You seal it up with creosote, seal it up with creosote

[Outro:]
Don't cry for me
