I Thought I Heard You Screaming Lyrics - Benjamin Booker - Benjamin Booker

It's a lonely walk, 

with a load like that my girl. 

You ain't seen no love since that man walked out your door. 

Harder still, you think you can't tell no one, 

Your god died back in '94, with a needle, 

with a needle, and a gun. 

Caught your leg, on a branch from a willow tree. 

You got blood in your eyes girl, I thought I heard you screaming. 

That man took every part of me, I lost my will along that highway, marker 54, 

She said "Oh they don't make men like that no more," 

Honey, they sure don't. 

Set yourself 

On fire so high, so I, 

I could feel your heart was speeding, 

did you love me, or was it the drugs? 

I could feel your heart was speeding, 

did you love me, or was it the drugs? 

And the life, 

we're living now, 

will surely, bury me.
