There are some saints that have been forgotten

Like most of my drunken prayers

They say there's a heaven somewhere above the yonder

Where there's no more crosses to bear

Now there's ghosts all along the highways

And there's storms out on the seas

I only hope is somewhere in that heaven

Someone is sayin' a prayer for me

I've been ridin' stone blind horses

Never seen a reason to believe

Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me

And the wild young cowboys old drunks

Paramours and thieves

The high slurred whistle of a red winged blackbird

Sounds like he's singin' oh that I might die

It's a song for those that have fallen

Unrepentant with no more alibis

I've been ridin' stone blind horses

Never seen a reason to believe

Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me

And the wild young cowboys old drunks

Paramours and thieves

Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me

And the wild young cowboys old drunks

Paramours and thieves
