Dustbowl
Kicking up the railroad dirt, I ride these metal wheels
There's plenty of times those dozy bulls come snapping at my heels
They've got to let it go when I hop that old freight train
Never going to mess with me in this old town again
Some unholy angel going to fix me up alright
Heading for the county line making good time tonight
I'm riding high in the lowdown, you know I'm on a roll?
'cause kicking back is easy on the blue highways of the dustbowl
Nickel and dime the journeys you can ride from stay to stay
Cross that bridge when it gets here, just hopping on that plate
The rolling stock’s for rolling as the years turn by and by
No tears are shed for the lonely who find no place to die
Nickel and dime the journeys you can ride from state to state
Cross that bridge when it gets here, just hopping off that plate
The rolling stock’s for rolling as the years turn by and by
No tears are shared for the lonely who find a place to die
The times they ain’t for changing, my fortune’s on the wind
Can’t make no money doing nothing, for that’d be a sin
I'm rattled by the railroad track from dusk to break of day
I've no Bible, just a bottle to ease my soul away
Riding high in the lowdown, know I'm on a roll!
'cause kicking back is easy on the blue highways
out of the dustbowl, of the dustbowl
Nickel and dime the journeys you can ride from stay to stay
Cross that bridge when it gets here, just hopping off that plate
The rolling stock’s for rolling as the years turn by and by
No tears are shared for the lonely. The final place to die
Nickel and dime the journeys you can ride from stay to stay
Cross that bridge when it gets here, just hopping on that plate
The rolling stock’s for rolling as the years turn by and by
No tears are shed for the lonely who find no place to die
Nickel and dime the journeys you can ride from stay to stay
Cross that bridge when it gets here, just hopping off that plate
The rolling stock’s for rolling as the years turn by and by
No tears are shared for the lonely who find a place to die
