lyrics

Rising with the smoke, rising with the smoke to a clear blue Kansas sky
Rising with the smoke, rising with the smoke my final goodbye
Take me back to Tulsa, take me back to Tulsa where the whiskey’s cold
Rising with the smoke, rising with the smoke all the lies you told.

Shining in the light, shining in the light, all your wicked ways.
Shining in the light shining in the light, a pawn in your game.
Take me back to Tulsa, take me back to Tulsa where they don’t know my shame.
Shining in the light, shining in the light, my turn with the flame.

And I won’t be coming home, tell the ghosts to leave me alone.
Tell the thieves, I burned it down. I burned it down to the stone cold ground.

Buried in the dust, buried in the dust all of my intent.
Buried in the dust, buried in the dust, all the evidence.
Take me back to Tulsa, take me back to Tulsa, I need to cross that state line.
Buried in the dust, buried in the dust, embers of my pride.

And I won’t be coming home, tell the ghosts to leave me alone. Tell the thieves I burned it down. I burned it down to the stone cold ground.

Don’t mess around with the wrath of a woman, she’ll throw lightning when you’re not looking.
You ignored my warnings. Kicking up dust on this barren old highway, headed dead south where you’ll never find me. There’s only so much a woman can take before she breaks.

And I won’t be coming home, tell the ghosts to leave me alone. Tell the thieves I burned it down. I burned it down to the stone cold ground. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
