Good Lord Done Gone

Midnight hour dealing the last hand
Got up and left for the Promised Land
They ran him on a rail to the edge of town
He took one last look at the cold hard ground

I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone

Neon burning down the lost highway
Driving home at the break of day
Red lights flashing in the darkening sky
Keep your head down and don´t ask why

I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone

What's your name, what you doin here
Who's your friend is my meaning clear
Have you got any weed have you got any dough
You can pay the fine now and you're good to go

I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone

Sunday morning and the church bells ring
Songs of heaven and all sacred things
Thru the door blows an evil wind
Burning hellfire as the shots begin

I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone
I wonder where the good lord done gone
