Sanctified Songtext
von Blackberry Smoke

I went looking for a sanctified woman
She was just the kind of woman I was hoping to find
I left home in the middle of December
She′s the only kind of woman to keep me in line

Well, I found a girl, just across the line in Georgia
She was living by the highway in a pink double-wide
We left town in a '79 Camaro
Had a bag full of nothing and a bottle of wine

Now tell me, can′t you see me go up in flames?
Can't you hear me screaming your name?
I need some redemption today
From that sanctified woman
From that sanctified woman

I went back to my home in Alabama
Saw my daddy in the driveway with a tear in his eye
He said, "Son, what you doing with that woman?"
Said, "I got to keep on running 'til I run out of time"


Now tell me, can′t you see me go up in flames?
Can′t you hear me screaming your name?
I need some redemption today
From that sanctified woman of mine
From that sanctified, sanctify

I don't even know, I don′t even know
What we're gonna do, where we′re gonna go
I don't wanna know, I don′t wanna know
Well, we got to go somewhere 'cause we sure ain't go no home

I went looking for a sanctified woman
She was just the kind of woman I was hoping to find

Can′t you see me go up in flames?
Can′t you hear me screaming your name?
I need some redemption today
From that sanctified woman of mine, mine
From that sanctified woman

Can't you see me go up in flames?
Can′t you hear me screaming your name?
I need some redemption today
From that sanctified woman of mine (sanctified)
From that sanctified woman of mine (sanctified)
From that sanctified woman of mine
From that sanctified
