about

I'm certainly no bluesman, but I really enjoyed this.

lyrics

Salt of the earth, got salt in my wounds
Took me a long time to realize
Been here before, but you're gone too soon
Vanished to smoke right before my eyes

Watched the taillights, heard the tires squeal
Sometime just before midnight
Saw you with him, don't understand the appeal
Nothing about this is alright

By the light of the dash
I'll fight for you tooth & nail
When young lovers crash
You get a back alley betrayal

How in the hell did this happen to you?
Did he treat you like a little princess?
Do you lie to yourself when you're being untrue?
Just how deep are you in this?

Something inside says you'll never come back
Something else says you might
Give me some time while I plan my attack
Nothing about this is alright

By the light of the dash
I'll fight for you tooth & nail
When young lovers crash
You get a back alley betrayal

- harp solo -

Salt of the earth, got salt in my wounds
Took me a long time to realize
Been here before, you've been gone too soon

By the light of the dash
I'll fight for you tooth & nail
When young lovers crash
You got a back alley betrayal

By the light of the dash
I'll fight for you tooth & nail
When young lovers crash
You got a back alley betrayal
