Freight Train

Highway Blues

paint me a picture, not in so many words
faint little outlines with the figures all blurred
i watched you get dressed as you readied to go;
you taught me so much that i already know

sculpt me an object if you think that you can
draw me a map, can you stick to the plan?
tend me a garden and tend to yours too;
it's not in the doing but the seeing it through

sing me a love song but don't wake my son
hold up your voice its your only weapon
i saw you get dressed as you turned in the blue;
you taught me so much that i already knew

what can i say, what can i do
i feel the battle is over with you
what can i say that's already been said?
what can i say?

if i's a mole i would take to the ground
so the lizard my darling she won't hear a sound
i'm riding a railroad, i'm riding it twice;
if livings a gamble i'm paying the price
