about

townes van zandt cover

lyrics

ride the blue wind high and free.
she'll lead you down through misery,
leave you low come time to go,
alone and low as low can be.

if i had a nickel, i'd find a game.
if i won a dollar, i'd make it rain.
if it rained an ocean, i'd drink it dry,
then lay me down dissatisfied.

it's legs to walk and thoughts to fly,
eyes to laugh and lips to cry,
a restless tongue to classify,
all born to grow and grown to die.

so tell my baby i said, 'so long'.
tell my mother i did no wrong.
tell my brother to watch his own,
and tell my friends to mourn me none.

chained upon the face of time,
feelin' full of foolish rhymes.
there ain't no dark 'til somethin' shines
i'm bound to leave this dark behind.

so ride the blue wind high and free.
she'll lead you down through misery,
leave you low come time to go,
alone and low as low can be.
