The trickin' leads to my worried mind My worried mind, it leads to you And thinkin' of you leads to nowhere But to the Devil in the ocean blue I ask the moon for orchids She said "How 'bout a drop of blood from a rolling stone? " She never fails to tickle my funny bone

I'll be your burn card Lost in the shuffle at the Bottom of the deck, yeah Tryin' to hide But the highway's low And the low way's mine You can burn me eternally Out to the snow and the wind and the rain And again and again and again and I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came

I'll be your burn card Lost in the shuffle at the bottom of the deck, yeah Tryin' to hide where the aces are low And the blinds are too high You can burn me eternally Out to the snow and the wind and the rain And again and again and again and again and again I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came
