Salt and Sting Lyrics

Let's get on up Let's get on up

Sunrise soon but bacon in the pan

There's rivers to cross and cattle to brand

Last night I searched the sky

For all the things a rain can bring salt and sting

Let's burn it up! Let's burn it up

Saddles do squeak and ropes do burn

And it don't take a minute for the weather to turn

Tonight I searched the ground

For all the things luck can bring salt and sting

He got drunk all day. Played cards all night

He lost his pay to an ace high straight

Now he lies in a grave by the Lazy Eight

Last night I searched my soul

For all the things a grave can bring salt and sting, yeah

Don't give it up! Don't ya give it up

Wait 'till you see the Milk River bows

When the slopes of the Rockies are buried in snow

Tonight we sang a hymn

About all the things love can bring salt and sting
