Rollin down the dusty road hard
Lightnin cracks and the wind won't guard
Wolves howl midnight stars cold
Truth be bought truth be sold

Steam rises from the healing earth
Bitter taste from a poison birth
Runnin fast findin no place to hide
Chokin back the tears inside

Slick your tongue in that apple boy
Taste the sin taste the joy
Feel the flesh bite down slow
Ride that train where it won't go

Ragin fire in the rebel skin
Storms comin and they never thin
Feel the fear in your twisted dream
Hollow eyes see beyond the scheme

Drink it down the devil's brew
Can't find nothing that's true
Burn it all till you feel the scars
Sing that blues on a fallen star

Broken bones and a shattered will
Those mountains standin deadly still
Crawl through mud till the end is near
Holdin tight to the last dear
