Prairie House Redemption

All the people ask me where I've been

Where I'm from, where I'm from

Down the muddy banks to a place

Out on the edge of town

I've been down, I've been down

To the Prairie House

Lay your money down on the barrel head

By the door, with your gun

You won't need your gun

And don't you cross the Reverend

On a Thursday night in a game of stud

Son, you're gonna lose, you're gonna lose

The doorman knew

So here's to you and I at the end of the day

Forgiving all the wrongs we've made

We can set them up and lay them all down

Singing this is where we're bound

Where we're bound

Yeah, the judge's wife sits behind the bar

And she'll set them up

She'll set you straight, she'll set you straight

Oh, the sheriff is a bluesman

And he'll sing a song

Sing along, sing along

Sing every song

Here's to you and I at the end of the day

Forgiving all the wrongs we've made

We can set them up and lay them all down

Singing this is where we're bound

Where we're bound

[Instrumental bridge]

Oh Lord, please walk with us

On our not so narrow way

Oh Lord, please be with us

Can't you hear this old house pray?

[Instrumental outro]
