lyrics
You've been on a lonely road for miles boy, you've been on a lonely road for miles. You've been on a lonely road, your heart, your soul are growing cold. You've been on a lonely road for miles. You've been travelling hard without no sleep now, you've been travelling hard without no sleep. You've been travelling hard now and your mind is tired, your body's weak, you've been travelling hard without no sleep. And if you knew you could you surely would boy, if you knew you could you surely would. If you knew you could stand on the rock that Moses stood, if you knew you could you surely would...
The night comes down I hang my head, I'm haunted by the things I said, I sometimes think my soul is dark and dead. The moon above this prairie town is brilliant white and shining down, I watch it through the window from my bed. It's arcing through the western sky, a sparkle in a lover's eye, a face I can't remember for the time. I think about that girl I met still hung on my last cigarette, and I can only wish that she was mine.
But the sun will send the moon upon its way again. And I will sing an old song with my friends. A future undecided is a blessing that's provided for a man who gets his means crossed with his ends.
I threatened once to leave this place, but I'm still in that same old space I've kept up on the southeast hill for years. Each morning it's the same routine - I force forget unpleasant dreams with whiskey in my coffee and some beer. And this old town it knows me now, the guitar man whose chips are down, but my songs still put a smile upon their face. And the tavern women take me home and save me from a night alone, come morning time I'm gone without a trace because...
The sun will send the moon upon it's way again. And I will sing an old song with my friends. A future undecided is a blessing that's provided for a man who gets his means crossed with his ends.
