Sauget Wind (from 7” single) Songtext
von Uncle Tupelo

It′s a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
Painkillers won′t help
When the weight's not yourself

They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It′s a long way to heaven
It′s a short way to hell

I don't know what I′m breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain′t so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a lie

Nothing's free in this country
And there′s no place to hide, no more


Industrial wind
It blows from the west
It'll burn out your eyes
And suck out your breath

It's waiting in the wings
For damage down the line
Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind

I don′t know what I′m breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain′t so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a lie

Nothing's free in this country
And there′s no place to hide, no more

No place to hide, no more
