And as I get long gone
Out where the wind blows The desert sky, she flies by for miles And as I keep walkin' People keep a-talkin' About things they've never seen or done Homeless sleep in the park Sweet hearts kiss in the dark I myself just move on through town Moon keeps on shinin' And the rich keep on dinin' And, oh, how I love the highway sun And out to the back The poet writes his songs in blood Where the coyotes are callin' Stars keep on fallin' Your mother, she won't be around A feather blows down the road And the wind is cold, your wings are broke And your heart is livin' on the run Lonely and wasted Her eyes replaced it And I don't think I'll make another mile Town to town I run My horse ain't too drunk The wind is singin' to the sun And out to the back The poet writes his songs in blood But the jukebox is barkin' I'm just gettin' started I've yet to see the light of day Senoritas lose it To the Mariachi music 'Cause New York is too far away And the band keeps on playin' With beer bottles breakin' And the barmaid, I heard she pulled the gun Poet takes a pistol Points it at this sister Says, "Honey, your day is done" And out to the back The poet writes his song in blood Out to the back The poet writes his song in blood |

When your world's of madness
And you're burned at both ends Your walls are closin' in Won't you remember? Open up your heart Let yourself unwind Find peace of mind Among the wandering Step into the unknown Where your path rewinds See if you can find out What you came here for Roll one from the green vine Disregard the time Find your peace of mind Among the wandering Don't fear the vendors Dreams can't be bought As long as you don't sell What you've been fighting for As long as you don't sell What you've been fighting for If your heart's of anger And you're helpless in the end Won't you let your friends Help you remember? With every box of poison There's a ribbon tied Don't believe them eyes When they deceive you Take a look inside If you're so inclined Just leave some time For the wandering Find your peace of mind Among the wandering |

Well, I'm feelin' strange
In this town Well, I feel deranged As I look around Above and below I hear these sounds With nowhere to go I hit the ground There's a strange feelin' in the air Oppressive minds sit and stare There's a strange feelin' in the air Pointed fingers must beware Tattoos and chains Aren't welcome here They tell me to pray Or I'll go to hell So rattle them bones And cook up that spell Turned into ghost What's that smell? There's a strange feelin' in the air Stealin' minds without a care There's a strange feelin' in the air Telling me I must be scared There's a strange feelin' in the air Whispered lies and knocked wood, glass There's a strange feelin' in the air Pointed fingers must beware Look at my face It's blood and tears A shameless disgrace For your eyes to fear Forget my name I'm a-leavin' here I'll be to blame If I go nowhere There's a strange feelin' in the air Oppressive minds sit and stare There's a strange feelin' in the air Pointed fingers must beware |

The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm.
I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car. So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast. Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most. And hell will have to pay, I went a little bit too far I'd say. Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar. Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars. For when I woke a spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand. Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn't understand. And there's nothin' but the ground, it's the only place I found. Where I can lay my head in town. Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change. Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain. So borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side. I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die. But not me, this time. I left the trouble far behind. And he tied his arm off one more time. The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm. |

If I held my breath in the morning
Would I wake up for a lifetime Lose my job in this depression Well I don’t care cause I got your love In this depression All I need is you In this depression What is there to lose If I held your hand in this town They would lock me up for possession But now there strung out on heroin And weve gone out to California In this depression Breaks my heart in two In this depression All I need is you I could make some friends down at the courthouse Get bailed out and go on welfare Id rather lay down in a pine box Then to sell my heart to a fucking wasteland In this depression Its just me and you In this depression What are we to do In this depression Breaks my heart in two In this depression All I need is you If I held my breath in the morning Would I wake up in a new land Follow you forever Dance all night in this depression In this depression In this depression In this depression In this depression |

The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I run into a friend of mine Ended up that he was just a stranger I said hello as he passed me by But then he turned and put a gun to my head He said, My friend I'm going to rob you blind I said You must be down on your luck I'm out of money and I'm all out of time He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees My spirit left and then my body went cold I'm looking down upon the lights of the city I feel alive, but I'm dead and gone Ain't no more walking down the side of the road Ain't no more sleeping on the edge of a frown Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know cause there ain't nobody hear me, there ain't nobody around Hallelujah, coming home Hallelujah, he's dead and gone Hallelujah, somethings wrong Hallelujah So tell me now if your singing can bring me Another day with my feet on the ground I miss living and living misses me I miss it so much that im holding me down For all the things that I never could change For all the reasons that I never understood why I feel alone, baby I'm dead and gone, baby There's somethings wrong cause you know I still feel alive My train is rolling down the line And I'm waiting till it to bring me a dream For holding you up in my eyes Oh feel my love, honey From up above, honey Oh don't give up on me cause im coming down I'm not a one nighter I'm not a flat liner I've everything in between the harmony you're singing loud Hallelujah, coming home Hallelujah, it's dead and gone Hallelujah, somethings wrong Hallelujah, it's just a song The other day I found myself up on the corner I thought I run into a friend of mine |

Well, I shook the hand of a weeping sparrow
And heard the most beautiful tune Laid myself down upon a field of flowers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues And I walked in circles confused and scattered And stumbled around as a fool Lost in the maze of veins in my heart 'Til I woke up unconscious with you And let go of yesterday's blues 'Cause you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a way that sets me free And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues Down in a city of shelters and shambles I thought I had nothing to lose I took for granted the wise words of strangers And gambled until I was through And lost all of yesterday's blues 'Cause you have a way that sets me free And you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues Well, I shook the hand of the deepest sorrow And waved a goodbye just to lose Laid myself down below the endless towers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues |

There's just no time for the agenda
The lame and fickle feuds No time for all these bribes that keep A poor man sewin' shoes In a box There's just no time for propaganda Or media filled with hate No time for scripted messages That slither around like snakes In your brain When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind There's just no time for talkin' prejudice Of different colored fellows No time for cruel harassment Of the strippers in stilettos On the boulevard There's just no time for these traditions Tyin' people down to class When everyone's a shade of green That suffers in the grass Of greed When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind There's just no time for the delusion No use for stealin' dreams No time for the intentions When you say let freedom rin' On foreign land There's just no time for the reflection Without recognizin' crimes No time for all the rules that limit Human equal rights To this day When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Can be powered by the wind Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind No time for all these factories Of guilt and all the glues No time for this supply If this demand can never chose To eat healthy There's just no time for the control Of what we do and what we say No time for all these holy wars With Gods out on display What happened to peace and love? When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind |

Well, I'm back on that road again
Nothin' slows me down I ain't seen a single smile Since I left your town All these people just keep lookin' 'round Can't look him in the eye LA's like the movies And I'm still wonderin' why I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home Road signs are hazy and The miles start to unwind But I ain't never lookin' back 'Cause there's nothin' left behind My fingertips are bleedin' They're right down to the bone Can't believe I'm out again On the high lonesome road I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home The headlights are blindin' and The diesels are on fire Haulin' ass down a mountain pass To the California state line If you could see my bleedin' feet You might hang your head and cry But don't you shed a tear, my dear For I'm comin' home tonight I'm holdin' on Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home Lay my head down on the rail Sing my way back home |

Out along the hardest trail
Set your mind at ease Laid the sun down upon the hill Fell into the sea Left your heart on that hard worn trail Left your family on that hard worn trail Left for dead on that hard worn trail Damned to hell on that hard worn trail Days were lost and remembered when You shed your eyes of fear Awareness of a debt repaid Soon to disappear Bled out till empty on that hard worn trail Crazy in your eyes on that hard worn trail Tossin' and a-turnin' on that hard worn trail Losin' your damn mind on that hard worn trail Passin' sky brings forever miles Somehow closer to you Feelin' age is all unclear Something you can't choose 'Cause mile after mile on that hard worn trail Blood, sweat and trial on that hard worn trail Dancin' in the fire on that hard worn trail Sweatin' out thin demons on that hard worn trail Kickin' and a-screamin' down that hard worn trail Beggin' for some mercy on that hard worn trail Singin' of forgiven on that hard worn trail To be lost in a vision on that hard worn trail 'Cause time was a-tickin' on that hard worn trail Your heart beat a rhythm on that hard worn trail You was a-gettin' down that on that hard worn trail Hard worn trail, hard worn trail, hard worn trail |

Bettin' on another long shot
'Cause the sure shot's done passed You walk along straight and narrow But you're barefoot in broken glass You sleep a lot where the sunlight Stays locked up in a hole You can't stand to let the light in 'Cause your heart may wanna roam You're tellin' me I've lost it all You're tellin' me I've hit the wall Your eyes melt to the windshield As your soul runs on tired Swervin' on the bad side of luck Waitin' on a sign of sunrise You can't help but wonder How you lost all control I guess you just couldn't keep up With the wild horse that you stole You're tellin' me That I've lost it all You're tellin' me I've hit the wall You set yourself on the back steps And you feel yourself grow old Your gray hair start runnin' back To a place you left so cold Well, put yourself another piece of wood On the fire down below 'Cause you can bet it's gonna be hot When you get to where you gonna go You're tellin' me I've lost it all You're tellin' me I've hit the wall |

I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man I think it was my old man I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears And his head is in the palm of my hand All choked up again Have you ever met up a little command That couldn't break a pool boy's chin? And here it all is again Went all in I got stuck in a jam That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied Everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive This ain't no place for kids But when you're raised in a bucket of rain You either die or you learn to swim You either die or you learn to swim I just need to see my baby again She took my hand there from where it began Said she would love me with trouble I was in Said she would love me with trouble I was in And every day I seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied And everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive I'm all choked up again With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man |

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing lose And this ain't no place for the weary kind You called all your shots Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop Somehow this don't feel like home anymore And this ain't no place for the weary kind And this ain't no place to lose your mind And this ain't no place to fall behind Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try Your body aches Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate The days and the nights all feel the same Whiskey has been a thorn in your side and it doesn't forget the highway that calls for your heart inside And this ain't no place for the weary kind And this ain't no place to lose your mind And this ain't no place to fall behind Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try Your lovers won't kiss It's too damn far from your fingertips You are the man that ruined her world Your heart's on the loose You rolled them seven's with nothing lose And this ain't no place for the weary kind |
