Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for
Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana
robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin; baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded, she was stealing another breath
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove
Too true to say good bye to you
Push the fader gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
