about

The inspiration for this little piece of darkness was a backyard chase scene between a squirrel and a crow.

lyrics

Old black crow in my dogwood tree
Take your darkness away from me
Been on my back since '63
Take your darkness away from me
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be

Moonshine runner in your fine, fast car
Spill your liquor and break the jar
I'm drunk since dawn, I can't go far
Spill your liquor and break the jar
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be

Gambling man outside my hall
Throw your dice against another wall
There's a fool and his money in Arkansas
Throw your dice against his damn wall
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be
