"All aboard!... Ain’t no train coming back!"

"Seven years a-walkin’ on a burnt-out trail,

Pockets full of nothin’ but the wind and my fail.

The rivers all whisper, ‘Boy, don’t you drown’,

But the dirt in my boots says I’m nowhere bound."

"Met a man while walking with a gold-tooth smile,

Sold me a future for a nickel a mile.

Now the crows pick the bones of the dreams I’ve sown,

But I’ll ride this dust ‘til the wheels fall gone."

"Oooh, the rain don’t know my name,

Oooh, but it cries just the same!"

"I’m nowhere bound, nowhere bound,

Lost my map but I’m leavin’ town.

Ain’t no saint gonna save me now,

Just the howl of the wheels on the ground!"

"Slept in a barn with a one-eyed hound,

He growled at the ghosts makin’ holes in the ground.

The farmer said, ‘Son, you’re cursed to roam’,

I said, ‘Curse or blessin’, I’m already gone’."

"The moon’s a dime on a gambler’s coat,

The stars just scribblin’ the jokes He wrote.

I’ll die in the saddle or flat on my back,

But the road’s my church and there’s no turnin’ back."

"Sometimes at night, I hear my mama call…

Just the echo rollin’ down the canyon wall.

One day I’ll answer, but not today—

The horizon’s pullin’ me away."

"Oooh, the rain don’t know my name…

Ohhh, but it cries just the same!"

"I’m nowhere bound, nowhere bound,

Lost my map but I’m leavin’ town.

Ain’t no saint gonna save me now,

Just the howl of the wheels on the ground!"

"The wheels keep hummin’ my lullaby…"
