Plastic Jesus

I put the mule in the stable
I nail a horseshoe to the door
Crush my smoke out on the table
I push the pedal through the floor

All the vultures whistlin Dixie
Spinning circles through the fog
Midnight run to Mississippi
A plastic Jesus and a one-eyed dog

And the rain came down
Washed it all away
And the rain came down
Again today

Well, there's a great big storm a-blowin'
River's edges reach the door
And there's really no way of knowing
Who the hangman's noose is for

I'm rolling dice and getting snake eyes
And the watchman has gone blind
All the crows circle through the blackened sky
Makes them just a little harder to find

And the rain came down
Washed it all away
And the rain came down
Again today

And the rain came down
Washed it all away
And the rain came down
Again today
