The Night Riders

The Night Riders was the name given by the press to the militant faction of tobacco farmers during a popular resistance to the monopolistic practices of the American Tobacco Company of James B. Duke.

I've got to tie a few loose ends
Apologize to all my friends
I really did it big time
Slam danced on a land mine

I hope you're alright, my dear
Sorry 'bout the chandelier
The party was just beginning 
Man I was Tarzan swinging
I won't pretend that someone spiked my beer

CHORUS
There's a world around the corner
(In my elusive mind)
Wrong way down a one way highway
(It's Sunday all the time)
All the time

Morning hit me like a stone
Someone shoot the telephone
Sounds like Beelzebub singing
Sounds like church bells riging
The theme song to The Twilight Zone

CHORUS
There's a world around the corner
(In my elusive mind)
Wrong way down a one way highway
(It's Sunday all the time)
I'm on permanent vacation
(Where the weather is just fine)
Chasing sunshine and tornados
In my elusive mind
All the time
I'll be fine

SOLO

I know a girl her name is Mona
(In my elusive mind)
She phoned from Tucson, Arizona
(Where the weather is just fine)
She said she'd maybe try and help out
(If she has the time)
Give me back my four track and my self-doubt
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Running down that rusty road to Zion
Ain't no use trying to rely on
My elusive
My elusive
My elusive mind
