What Are The Lyrics For Rosemary With a Bible and a Gun By Drive-By Truckers?

As strong as the day was long
Rosemary would sing along
Wheels rolling steady down the way
The ashtray, it would fill up twice
The windows down felt nice
As miles stretched the twilight of the day

Driving up by 55
Mississippi zooming by
Salvation in the cool November air
I'm searching for the mixture
That could paint a pretty picture
Of the wind blowing through Rosemary's hair

Her daddy always said she was the one
Who made the light stars could wish upon
Rosemary with a bible and a gun

I was more than smitten
By the words as they were written
And the opportunities were waiting there
Our time was etched in promise
'Til the truth came down upon us
Descending all our hopes into despair

We took our leave and headed north
Tank at twenty dollars worth
The highway called her name, like sirens call
Twenty five and on the run
William Eggleston
Parking lots of neon in the fall

Her daddy's eyes drew fire into the sun
Asked me how I thought I was the one
His eyes could be deemed more
Than to ever cast upon
Rosemary with a bible and a gun

I guess we drowned the dark to light the dawn
This roller coaster highway can't compare to the fun
Of Memphis saturated and decaying on the run
Rosemary with a bible and a gun

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
