Derek Jones - Black Cloud Lyrics

The heart of this country
Has fallen under attack
You're waging wars on yourself
With a monkey on your back
Gettin' high and gettin' by
It's a damn ole shame
When the flame goes out
The lights go out
With a needle in your vein
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
Johnny married Tina
And Tina, she got around
She tied up the hands of that workin' man
And drove the whole thing in the ground
Johnny, he'd been drinkin'
Just like the night before
When Tina walked into that living room
Well, the bottle hit the floor
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
Black Cloud

The heart of this country
Has fallen under attack
You're waging wars on yourself
With a monkey on your back
Gettin' high and gettin' by
It's a damn ole shame
When the flame goes out
The lights go out
With a needle in your vein
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
Johnny married Tina
And Tina, she got around
She tied up the hands of that workin' man
And drove the whole thing in the ground
Johnny, he'd been drinkin'
Just like the night before
When Tina walked into that living room
Well, the bottle hit the floor
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Well you better get on out
Or it's gonna take you down
Rain full of sin and doubt
Black Cloud
