Rattlesnake - American Aquarium

Well she’s born outside of Memphis, just north of Tupelo

Oh Lord, she’s a Mississippi Queen

And just like that big river, oh Lord, she’ll pull you under

She fights fire with gasoline

The first time that I saw her down at the white water

Dance across those ancient hardwood floors

And you could tell she had a history with the cigarettes and whiskey

And the boys that had a way with words

But I want to make that glorious mistake

She’s got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake

Much like my first occurrence with straight Kentucky bourbon

Oh Lord, she took my breath away

And when she called me «Darlin'» I started caterwaulin'

Oh, I had nothin' else to say

But I want to make that glorious mistake

She’s got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake

And when she gets me all alone she strikes the fear of Jesus

She sends that fear coursin' through my blood

And when we hit the bedroom, it’s always fire and brimstone

Yes I have been washed in the flood

And I want to make that glorious mistake

She’s got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake

She’s got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake
