lyrics

Folks come down from Idaho just to hear this poor man sing
You write books by the side of the road with our clothes in a gunny sling
Hike and hitch from state to state
Lord, we've been from coast to coast
felt the sun down in Dallas city
felt the cold in Chicago

on we roam from place to place
struck a fire in every town
never more than just one day
till its time to move on
whispers in the dust and leaves and the
cracks deep in the road
whether wind or the will o' the wisp
I know
this is my home

my lips are cracked and swollen
my guitar is bust and broke
but I have to spit and moan these songs until I
start to choke
and the breeze,
it is my cider,
and the highway is my bowl
and its filled to the brim with the ghosts and the devils
its the bread that feeds my soul

and looking at you
it tears me down
and I have to place theses busted bones so
deeply in the ground
and I dig up myself each night
so I can feel your arms surround
and you stitch my skin to my back
and I'm back on the road and I'm outta town

so grab your bags and pack 'em tight
the gravel is our sea
our ship is packed
we leave tonight
there's only room for you and me
and I hear it like a pack of dogs to the sun's old sister stone
whether wind or the will o' the wisp I know
this is my home

whether wind or the will o' the wisp I know
with the wind and the will o' the wisp I go
whether wind or the will o' the wisp I know
this is my home
