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 theyve 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 wont 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 dont think Ill make another mile
From town to town I run
My horse aint to drunk
The daylight is singin to the sun
Out to the back, the poet writes his songs in blood
Juke box is barkin
Im just getting started
Ive 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
