lyrics

He’d ride from town to town to find a place,
It has to have a wide open sky
So he could stare into space.
With a bottle of blues and a dream,
I’ll turn these memories into songs
And I’ll sing to you what I’ve seen.

And nothing could be better than a big, old house.
With a girl just waiting there for me.

I’d sing to her, a love song that I wrote.
Just to show her that I care…

Whether she’s a waitress, or a dancer,
They’re all pretty to me.
I’m a poet, I’m a singer,
And that’s all I want to be.
I’m so sorry I had to hurt you,
And let go of your hand.
But I’m leader, I’m the king of this rock n roll band.

Standing on this stage doing what I do,
I’m singing a lullaby I wrote just for you.

I sing to you a love song that I wrote,
Just to show you that I care…

In the desert I am home.
And there’s nothing more lonely than feeling alone.
I’m trying,I’m trying to make it somehow,
But each day is getting longer,
Or maybe shorter, I can’t tell.
I’m fading,I’m fading, just like him.
And the pills go down quicker when you’re drinking.
I’m flying, I’m flying up above.
I’m pleased to tell you it’s one big carnival
Of goodness and love.

And nothing could be greater than the great big sky,
That sings to you so sweetly when you die.

So sing to me alove song that you wrote,
Just to show me that you care.
