Kelly mountain road
Saw a heavy load With a sagging heart And a break apart Voices in me Stood as thick as thieves With no sympathy For the beggars art I have passed these pines 'bout a million times Effortlessly (effortlessly) Now I grip the wheel Fear is what I feel At the slow unraveling of (slow unraveling of) Me (me) (ah) (ah) But you tell me it's temporary (tell me it's temporary) It's a matter of time (it's a matter of time) By god Don't you think I know it's in my mind (in my mind) And it's right over left (right over left) And healing the then (healing the then) I'll soon be to nothing But I don't know when Well the way I flee (daylight) On my crooked feet Barn happy horse (fading) On a one-track course Then I self despise (daylight) Cryin' out my eyes 'cause the happy trail (fading) Led me to remorse, But the road is long (but the road is long) And the song is gone I blow empty In my cicada shell If I saw my choice (if I saw my choice) I might find my voice But I don't know when (don't know when) And I just can't tell (just can't tell) (ah) (ah) You tell me it's temporary (tell me it's temporary) It's a matter of time (it's a matter of time) By god Don't you think I know it's in my mind (in my mind) It's right over left (right over left) And healing the then (and healing the then) I'll soon be to nothing But I don't know when Deep behind my face Is a safer place But old gears are hitched tight To the gate It?s a daily grind Waiting to unwind Till I hear that click That unlocks my fate (ah) (ah) Yeah But you tell me it's temporary (but tell me it's temporary) And it's a matter of time (and it's a matter of time) By god Don't you think I know it's in my mind It's right over left (it's right over left) And healing the then (and healing the then) I'll soon be to nothing (I'll soon be to nothing) But I don't know when I'll soon be to nothing (I'll soon be to nothing) But I don't know when I'll soon be to nothing But I don't know when (but I don't know when) |

Think I'll bag that trip for two Pack it up for Kakadu Honey it's not for the weather Or a lack of lovin' you I got all this in between Something I could not foresee And all the deals I made don't matter if I can't just let you be Gone again, gone again There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend Gone again Walked in King's Cross for awhile Gave a junkie girl a smile We both traded in for danger Or the company of strangers She said all her family Was at the welfare agency then she swindled my last twenty for a kiss and some poetry Gone again, gone again There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend Gone again If I don't make Kakadu I'll be at the Rainbow Room I'll be courtin' some disaster With the Melbourne wrecking crew Honey all this is to say Every dog don't got its day If we take the love we're given And we throw it all away Gone again, gone again There ain't no way that I'm gonna' let this heart mend Gone again |

I'm heading out of Alabama So you'd better think fast The wind's gonna pick me up now And the rain won't stop I'm heading down to Georgia So don't lose track Of where you been and where you going now And who you've seen and what they lack And why you come undone Every time you go there And how you come undone I know your heart's in danger And so is your life You'd better learn to trust a stranger And stop & rest for a night See a sign up in the headlights And a moon up above won't be enough Light the embers of another and the night won't seem so rough Sister.... There was a bloody beast of burden On a dark Texas road And a woman in a family way And a car that lost control I'm studying the distance From the blanket to the gun It's ten hours to Natchez And another ten home I know your heart's in danger And so is your life You'd better learn to trust a stranger And stop & camp for the night See a sign up in the headlights And a moon up above Light the embers of another and the night won't seem so rough Sister Go ahead Come on now It was trust that brought me here And trust will bring me home |

andy do you love me do you think about it will you say turning brushwood into blazes turning summer grass into hay turning sharply past the graveyard to the lakefront with the black waves licking up the stones to the swayed back screened in front porch who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones andy aren't you tired from the sun and rain and river soaking you from the beer cans on your dashboard and the bullet hole glass spiderweb staining your rear view i have watched you watch an empty road is it only her upon which you all of you is depending to fill your twenty hour work day while all the fences in this county still need mending hey and in the night i do my checking and fix the broken parts with visions of rare beauty but in my heart i know i'm second forever fixed in your pursuit it is my duty hey andy will you toss me a little scrap of something that i can taste instead of dust from all the leaving and the smell of summer lying here to waste under the burnt pyre of all the cast away the tiny shoots will spring like questions will you take me out to the fenced hill sprinkled with horses wild in resistence to the taming will you break me will you break me |
