[Verse 1]
Well, I sure take it with me wherever I go
And you might like to see it, but it never does show
Like the wind in the valley that never does blow
Like the grass in the back you never did mow
[Chorus]
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge
It’s a on the bridge
It’s a that you pay for walking on the ledge
It’s everything you with that you did
[Verse 2]
Well, you might see me driving on the wrong side of town
And you might see me when the rain’s come down
Like a diamond that’s hiding the lost and found
Like a coon that’s from a red-boned hound
[Chorus]
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge
It’s a on the bridge
It’s a that you pay for walking on the ledge
It’s everything you with that you did
[Verse 3]
Well, the burning in the old stove
And the keep going the dun been drove
And the glowing in dead man’s cove
And the loom spinning the gets wove
[Chorus]
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge
It’s a on the bridge
It’s a that you pay for walking on the ledge
It’s everything you with that you did
