[Verse 1]
Man dressed in black
By the county line
Twisted cane in his hand
Like he owns that time
Raven on his shoulder
Eye like a coal
He don't say much
But he takes your soul
[Pre-Chorus]
They say he came
With a cold front name
Ice in his coat
And a shadow for flame
[Chorus]
Raven on his shoulder
Cold wind in his name
Raven on his shoulder
He don't need no fame
Black coat, hard road
He walks through the rain
Raven on his shoulder
Raven on his shoulder
[Verse 2]
Boots hit the gravel
Like a warning bell
Every dog goes quiet
When he passes the well
Bent old cane
Knocks on the ground
Like a judge in the dark
Counting on you now
[Pre-Chorus]
They say he came
With a cold front name
Ice in his coat
And a shadow for flame
[Chorus]
Raven on his shoulder
Cold wind in his name
Raven on his shoulder
He don't need no fame
Black coat, hard road
He walks through the rain
Raven on his shoulder
Raven on his shoulder
[Bridge]
Maybe he's a devil
Maybe he's a saint
Maybe he's the kind
That a hard town makes
Raven turns his head
When the sirens cry
Then he tips that cane
And he lets it slide
[Chorus]
Raven on his shoulder
Cold wind in his name
Raven on his shoulder
He don't need no fame
Black coat, hard road
He walks through the rain
Raven on his shoulder
Raven on his shoulder
