about

Written by Shepard & Dunford

lyrics

I'm wandering the streets of love lost long ago
I'm better than I once was but I still have far to go
I've seen cowboys and movie stars
But that's not the life for me
Just open roads and dial tones, that's all I'll ever be

You can't trust the evil of the man
We sang "and soon we're gonna see the king"
And we sang on "soon our concrete ship is gonna sink"

They talk of three bright stars that crashed upon the shore
I saw the lights hanging low, blinking in secret code
It said the grass is for smoking and the weed is for choking
And I understood the message, I must return home

You can't trust the evil of the man
We sang "and soon we're gonna see the king"
And we sang on "soon our concrete ship is gonna sink"

I joined some wayward wanderers, hitchhiking across the land
When we crossed into Tennessee, we were almost there
The smoke hung low and through my lungs it did flow
Living in the shallow ravine of hate, my soul is a shadow
