HARD TRAVELIN'

Out on a wire
devil’s mountain
hangin’ on by a rope
burnin’ fever
hard travelin’
sweet shelter come home.

YOU GOT SOMEBODY WATCHIN’ OVER YOU.

Desert roses
far from water
raise a glass to your throat
come on you poor boys
from the country
it is a power to behold
three ravens risin’
two rivers ragin’
last fair deal down the road
late is the hour
red is the color
lord have mercy on your soul

YOU GOT SOMEBODY . . .

So in the mornin’
wait for your darlin’
you know she’s waitin’ for you
up off the boat that
comes in slowly
bringin’ spanish wine for you
so while you’re dreamin’
and hard travelin’
as you labor for this land
swear on your vision
of this nation
say a prayer or be damned

YOU GOT SOMEBODY . . .
