lyrics

I walked out into the street and strait out of town
Don’t have the time to check my direction
But I got the time
To walk for days
To not give them what they want
To search for nothin’ and find it
To be my own lover
But I found a lover anyway
And this road follows its own road
So I wander through the dead train yard
And keep a-burnin’ on

I walked out into the street and strait outta town
Don’t have the time to check my direction
But I got the time
To float down a slow river
To not get to nowhere fast
To praise the grace of a rhinestone
To see the sky on the water
Come take me down to the love in her face
This rogue follows many roads
So I rest under the heavy stars
and keep a-burnin’ on

Strait outta town
I don’t have the time
To check my direction, But I got the time
To walk to days
To not give them what they want
To search for nothing and find it
To search for nothing
