|
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 |
