Long road. is the only route that I know. Black soul. Goes darker each day as I go. . Push me and pull. and drag me to the ground. to take me out on a stretcher.
I'm terrified - of your eyes. They can be so cold. . I lie at night - waiting tight. For the bell to toll. . Therein Lies - what I know. That'll make us fold.
It's getting on. I've done this all before. Hotel to motel. Motel means all alone. . I sense a recurrence. It's happening again. So let's do it one more time.
Me train running low on soul coal. They push and pull tactics are driving me loco. They shouldn't do that no no no. They shouldn't do that. . Me train running low on dream steam.
You should have been there.. You would have laughed so hard that you'd cry I bet.. Watching this poor sucker sweat over things that you'd all sail through..
First there's the handshake. It's so warm that you could bake by it. Designed to take attention from their. Ugly Underneath. Then there's the wedding.
I will never forget the walk to the station,. Me with your suitcase being brotherly strong.. And trying to make light of the whole situation,. In mild conversation we moved through the throng,.
I said look at the river.. You said it's only a stream.. But I said I've seen people with nets out there. You said they just throw out a line and dream..
Oh, the traveller moving on the land, behold I give you, I give you the travelling man.. And he's very heavy laden with the questions in his burden.. Lo, and I give you the travelling man..
I went down to the hiring fair for to sell my labour,. And I noticed a maid in the very next row and I hoped she'd be my neighbour.. Imagine then my delight when the farmer picked us both..
Takes a glass of Tequila to raise up my spirits. When I get down I'm drinking them two at a time. 'Til I swear that I feel like a poor drowning sailor.
Out on the lonely highway I'm ridin' your way. Tell your momma to bar the cabin door. Headin' out on a short run just lookin' for someone. Who doesn't love me anymore.
Take 'em away, take 'em away, Lord. Take away these chains from me. My heart is broken 'cause my spirit's not free. Lord take away these chains from me.
You may call me a rover I have rambled around. But I'll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town. You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool. But I'm burning into Memphis on a flop-eared mule.
(life). I long for days like this. My heart pounds when you are near. The gift of life. Treasure it, for it is pure. Embrace it with all your heart. .
I wonder what she dreams about?. Perhaps my arms that hold her tight?. Or the love that warms her heart?. Peaceful sleep till dawns new day. . I will always keep watch over you.
I once had a vision. the beauty of two graced the sky. It left me with nothing but hurt. For I knew this couldn't be true. Looking back through a childs eyes.
Born upon angelic dirt. we crawl from filth to rise. Speak my name for the sake of life. For this creed will slowly turn. Light escapes this shell of mine.
In just one breath. Your dreams will fade. A moment in time. For fear to embrace. . The future... is my enemy. Long days.... and endless nights. . Pain awakes my sleep.
Awaken my soul and open my eyes. Show me the journey and feed my mind. Take me away to lands of green. Forever falling through Gods black veil. Darker spirits than this, have fallen past my eyes.
