Sister Heroine

It’s gonna be a dark cold December
With shaking lilies in the yard
And your sweet face I will remember
How I’m gonna miss your stubborn heart
So forgive me for my weakness
I guess my faith is a little stoned
The angels cried on a Friday
The day that God walked you home
So goodbye Sister heroine
I’ll remember everything, I love you
Goodbye white trash beauty Queen
Your crooked heart and your beat up
Dreams, I love you
It hurts to laugh here without you
A piece inside of us is gone
Mama tries to smile too
Ain’t never seen that woman try so hard
No more working Alvarado
No more liars, tramps or thieves
Your skin and bones don’t cast no shadow
On an empty bed in Motel Six
So goodbye Sister heroine
I’ll remember everything, I love you
Goodbye white trash beauty Queen
Your crooked heart and your beat up
Dreams, I love you
We all threw roses at your feet
While you burned our crosses in the street
So if you’re looking down on me
I love you.
