National Steel

Mind your step as you make your way
 Through the church in to this world of sand
 Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin
 With a long slow drag
 She welcomes you in where you'll be
 Dancing in the low light
 Sweat dripping down like a dew
 Scratchin metal and a cry and moan
 Riding in a bottle in the back of a room
 Fire, fire from the inside
 Rhythm, like a hurricane rain
 Mercy, comes after midnight
 While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel
 Took its smile on a wild rose
 Born in the heat of the south
 Your kisses they went to my head like a whiskey
 She was a bootlegged love with her stockings rolled down
 People cried to cry as a wolf starts to howl, howled like a midnight train
 Roll on, roll on, rolled like a river
 A shot of burning silver pounding through my feet like fire
 Fire, fire from the inside
 Rhythm like a hurricane rain
 Mercy, comes after midnight
 While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel
 Mind your step as you make your way
 Through the church in to this world of sand
 Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin
 With a long slow drag
 She welcomes you in where you'll be
 Dancing in the low light
 With the sweat dripping down like a dew
 Scratchin metal with a cry and moan
 And riding in a bottle at the back of the room
 Fire, fire from the inside
 Rhythm, like a hurricane rain
 Mercy, comes after midnight
 Wash me down, washin me down,
 Fire, from the inside
 Rhythm, like a hurricane rain
 Mercy, comes after midnight
 Wash me down with the sound of your National Steel
 National Steel
 Hmmm alright
