Amanda Page Cornett, Mark Narmore - Dream Catcher Lyrics

He rolled into my life, like a twister set on fire
By the time I caught my breath, I was paralyzed by desire
Ridin' shotgun with the devil, took me places I'd never go
Couldn't overcome it, almost lost my soul

We slid into Macon, hit the pavement and prayed
Those bullets started flying, blood mixed with Georgia clay
When the smoke burned off, I looked around, he was nowhere to be found
And after fifteen years, he still haunts me now

I heard of this Cherokee lady in western Caroline
She shelters all the children from their bad thoughts at night
They call her the Spider Woman because of the web she weaves
She knows how trap your troubles, so they don't trouble you when you sleep

So I set out to find her, desperate for relief
Since he disappeared, hell's rained down on me
Told her about my troubles and she fell into a trance
Took a string, a bead and some feathers, and went into a spirit dance

Hang it on your bed post, just inside your window
Let the moon creep in
All the good dreams'll fall down the feathers
The web'll trap the bad
When the night smoke clears, fog disappears
Melted by the dawn
You can bet this dream catcher is strong enough to get him gone

So I followed her directions to wash my soul clean
Went to bed, slept like the dead, and I woke in a dream
Saw every sin he ever did, loomin' over me
Then all of a sudden, in a powerful rush, his hold let go of me

Hang it on your bed post, just inside your window
Let the moon creep in
All the good dreams'll fall down the feathers
The web'll trap the bad
When the night smoke clears, fog disappears
Melted by the dawn
You can bet this dream catcher was strong enough to get him gone
Get him gone

If you're ever overcome with troubles, and you can't shake the chill
Take a little trip out to the woods in the Appalachain hills
Ask for the Spider Woman, she'll already know you're there
But only go if you're pure of soul, and only if you dare

Hang it on your bed post, just inside your window
Let the moon creep in
All the good dreams'll fall down the feathers
The web'll trap the bad
When the night smoke clears, fog disappears
Melted by the dawn
You can bet this dream catcher is strong enough to get him gone

Well you can bet this dream catcher is strong enough
Strong enough to get him gone
