500 Miles To Memphis - Blessed Be the Damned Lyrics

Once I had some land and it wouldn't yield.
My hope gave way to ire out working in the field.
So I climbed a tree to get closer to God.
I said can you show mercy while my children pray and starve?
We're not done we've just begun.
Once we had a little but our little was a lot.
We're not done we've just begun.
Our work is not over until we are dead and gone.

Once I had a love but she had to leave.
She left us way too early but I'd say she's earned her peace.
So I grabbed a can of leaded gasoline.
I burned it all to hell for his kingdom he can keep.
I jumped in the river to wash it all away.
I came up with pneumonia and completely lacking faith.

We're not done we've just begun.
Once we had a little but our little was a lot.
We're not done we've just begun.
I don't need no bible I have seen the face of God.
We're not done we've just begun.
Our work is not over until we are dead and gone.

We're not done we've just begun.
Blessed be the damned for they have seen beneath the veil.
