Holy smoke and holy water, from dole-eyed girl to prodigal daughter
Did a devil dance to a fiddle and a holler, this angel's hail on the heavenly fire
I was saccharine and sugarcane, tiptoeing on the fence
Pin up like a thundercloud, chomping at the bit
Ran crooked as a creek, baby, my innocence was pure
Had mama sweating bullets from my soul, she wasn't sure
He was twenty-one, a whole lot of fun, plowed her from a gun
And we went up in holy smoke and holy water
From dole-eyed girl to prodigal daughter, this angel's hail on the heavenly fire
Did a devil dance to a fiddle and a holler, this angel's hail on the heavenly fire
He lit me up like cigarettes, I drank up every ounce
Like an early mist, a morning fog, he ghosted out of town
Made me locomotive crazy
Flyin' off the tracks, couldn't deal, sat at the crossroads
Time to get him back, yeah, I was risin' in black
Holy smoke and holy water, from dole-eyed girl to prodigal daughter
Did a devil dance to a fiddle and a holler, this angel's hail on the heavenly fire
Had mama sweating bullets from my soul, she wasn't sure
His eyes in my hair, I ain't got a prayer
He's still somewhere in between
Holy smoke and holy water, from dole-eyed girl to prodigal daughter, this angel's hail on the heavenly fire
From doe-eyed girl to prodigal daughter
The devil's dance to fiddle and holler
This angel's hell on a heavenly fire
