BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics : "Maria's Bed"

Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights
I ain't complainin', it's my job and it suits me right
I got a sweet soft fever rushin' around my head

I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed

Got on a dead man suit and smilin' skull ring

Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I keep my heart in my work but trouble's in my head
And I keep my soul in Maria's bed


I been up on sugar mountain, cross the sweet blue seas
I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery

I got run out'a luck and give myself up for dead
And I drank the cool clear waters from Maria's bed


She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon
One sweet breath and she'll take you mister to the upper room
I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead

Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of Maria's bed

I been out in the desert yeah doin' my time

Searchin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign
Holy man said "hold on brother there's a light up ahead"
Ain't nothing like a light that shines on me in Maria's bed


Well I'll take my blessings at the riverhead
I'm living in the light of Maria's bed
