No sunshine for a long time
Jet black on a dead man’s hog
Gonna bleed my working knuckles
While she sleeps I’m moving on
One day I’ll do some turning
Turn back into myself
Until then I’m breathing empty dry dust into my lungs

Las Cruces
With a fist full of ones
Broke down that train
And I’m riding a one track mind
For a long time going to nowhere

Six days my dog’s been itching
Red spots and got no claws
Just read the Constitution
And found it’s full of flaws
Black straps and silver buckles
Chrome cap to fry my brain
Two shots and a side of bacon on the stove with a hard boiled egg

Fort Stockton
Two pennies to none
Broke down that train
And I’m riding a one track mind
For a long time going to nowhere

You’re sifting through the wreckage
In the swamps of New Orleans
That lady woke up drinking
Killed the bugs on her windowpane
One day I’ll do some learning
And learn to trust myself
Hitch a ride for a western sunset where they told me all was well

A cloudless sky
Drops of acid rain
Broke down that train
And I’m riding a one track mind
To the end of the line where I’m born to follow
