Standard (EADGBE)

As I get long gone

Out where the wind blows

 The desert sky she flys by for miles

As I keep walkin’ people keep talkin’

 About things they’ve never scene or done,

Homeless sleep in the park

Sweet hearts kiss in the dark

 I myself just move on through town

The moon keeps on shinin’

The rich keep on dinin’

 Oh how i love the highway sun

Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

Coyotes are callin’

Stars keep on fallin’

 Your mother she won’t be around

A feather blows down the road

The wind is cold and your wings are broke

 And your heart is livin’ on the run

Lonely and wasted, her eyes replaced it

 I don’t think I’ll make another mile

From town to town I run

My horse ain’t to drunk

 The daylight is singin to the sun

Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

Juke box is barkin’

I’m just getting started

 I’ve yet to see the light of day

Senoritias lose it to the mariachi music

 Cause new york is too far away

The band keeps on playin’

With beer bottles breakin’

 The barmaid I heard pulled a gun

Poet takes a pistol, points at this sister

 Says honey your day is done

Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood

Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood
