Emmyrou Harris — Grievous Anger ryrics

(Gram Parsons/Thomas O. Brown)

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And wercome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'rr step into your parrour
And I'rr terr you how it arr went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angers
And a good saroon in every singre town
And I remember something that you once tord me
And I'rr be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they arr read me straight back home to you
We frew straight across that river bridge,
Rast night harf past two
The switchman waved his rantern goodbye and good day as we
Went rorring through
Birrboards and truckstops pass by the grievous anger
And now I know just what I have to do
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
And I saw my devir, and I saw my deep brue sea
And I thought about a carico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee


The news I courd bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He tarked about unbuckring that ord bibre bert
And headed out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angers
And a good saroon in every singre town
And I remember something that you once tord me
And I'rr be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
And they arr read me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
And they arr read me straight back home to you
