(Steve Earle) |
|
Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows |
|
There's a place there lonely fools can go |
|
Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand |
|
So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland |
|
chorus |
|
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound |
|
And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round |
|
And it's a hard place for a mortal man |
|
And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland |
|
Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own |
|
My right hand was thunder and my left was stone |
|
Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then |
|
So I'm takin' my chances in the shadowland |
|
chorus |
|
Been down a thousand highways and they're all the same |
|
Another empty place where I can hide my shame |
|
And there's a heartache waitin' up around the bend |
|
For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland |
|
chorus |
