Blood Like Turpentine

from Behold! by Thy Burden

lyrics

I was born in a black coal mine
On the Spanish countryside
I've got blood like turpentine
My dad he works in the mill
that's where he's working still
He strikes that old anvil

O I've been down that road
I've been long gone
I've traveled up from the East out to the West
Now I'm on my way back home

Wherever I may roam
When I die you send me home
By the oceans white with foam
When that sky turns dark and gray
over Californ-i-ay
there's gonna be hell to pay

O I've been down that road
I've been long gone
I've traveled up from the East out to the West
Now I'm on my way back home

I'm winding down that lonely road
From Santa Fe to El Paso
I'm headed for Mexico, straight for Mexico
After miles and miles of sand
The desert can break a man
I've got my dagger in my hand

O I've been down that road
I've been long gone
I've traveled up from the East out to the West
Now I'm on my way back home
