(Verse 1)

Out on a mission, girl

Running like a train through the whole damn world

Smoke’n my highs, on the go

Miss’n my stop, on an easy plateau

(Chorus)

And I’m cross’n this country of pain

Washed out roots from all the rain

The further I get, I might go sane

But, I’ve got….dark….history in these fuck’n veins

(Verse 2)

Age of the wolf, in sheep’s skin

Pearly whites, shine a devil’s grin

Burn’n up, the western sage

Pound’n my fist, in a piston of rage

(Chorus)

And I’m cross’n this country of pain

Washed out roots from all the rain

The further I get, I might go sane

But, I’ve got….dark….history in these fuck’n veins

(Banjo solo and fiddle)

(Verse 3)

Is the origin foul?

Or is it just the place we’re in?

I’ve got kills, on the prowl

Old haunts, eat’n my sin

(Chorus)

And I’m cross’n this country of pain

Washed out roots from all the rain

The further I get, I might go sane

But, I’ve got….dark….history in these fuck’n veins

(Verse 4)

Heaven knows, I’ll atone

Sins of our fathers, paid the tolls

It’s a long road out of hell

Promised I’d return to myself

Chorus)

And I’m cross’n this country of pain

Washed out roots from all the rain

The further I get, I might go sane

But, I’ve got….dark….history in these fuck’n veins

(Verse 5)

Came back to god say’n

“Dammit man, I’ve been praying”

You deemed all’s forgiven

A roll’n stone just keep on liven’

(Chorus)

And I’m cross’n this country of pain

Washed out roots from all the rain

The further I get, I might go sane

But, I’ve got….dark….history in these fuck’n veins

(Banjo outro)
