Dead Man's Hand |
| Now I’m standing at the start |
| This old dirt road and my ravaged heart |
| Are all that’s left, unless I’m dreaming |
| I’ve come so far, this familiar fear |
| If pain is gold then I’m a millionaire |
| Your sordid theft won’t make things even |
| My suit has turned from black to brown |
| I’ve swam through dust and I’ve been smacked around |
| The hand of lust does love misleading |
| But these squinting eyes have seen |
| The slow demise and the rise upstream |
| To know the end is near is freedom |
| Muscles ache, I feel old and blind |
| The cowhide’s warm but I’m cold in mine |
| The blazing sun is gone, it’s freezing |
| A pair of aces and a pair of eights |
| My fate is sealed but I’m prepared to wait |
| Just one more deal before I’m leaving |
| My shoes and hurt both custom made |
| I stare into the face on this rusted blade |
| And don’t have much left to believe in |
| Can’t feel my skin from behind the scars |
| I raise my head just to find the stars |
| They must be there, I just can’t see them |
| I guess there’s no use trying to talk |
| What tongues have tied, only eyes resolve |
| These two have seen their share of weeping |
| More moons have passed than I would care to know |
| From when I last knew why and where to go |
| This wounded country won’t stop breathing |
| No flying sparks, just a burning fuse |
| No greater loss a man could learn to lose |
| I tried to leave but who was I deceiving |
| Now I’m standing at the start |
| This old dirt road and my ravaged heart |
| Will soon be gone if I’m just dreaming |
