Song for Martin |
| In Rough Rock, Arizona, he lived for many years alone |
| A gangly kid from Colorado who could sing the sweetest songs |
| I first heard Woody’s songs from him in a cabin in the snow |
| Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years ago |
| He moved to Arizona in nineteen sixty one |
| Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun |
| My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run |
| My country life was far behind and the circus had begun |
| Marty I know it got lonely out there |
| Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air |
| The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired |
| Mart I know I let you down somewhere |
| I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends |
| I always knew the paths we walked, we were meant to cross again |
| We talked on the telephone maybe once or twice a year |
| His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear |
| I’ll never know what brought him to where he finally stood |
| A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods |
| But somehow I can hear, it struck my heart as well |
| For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I’ll never know |
| Marty I know it got lonely out there |
| Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air |
| The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired |
| Hey, Mart I know I let you down somewhere |
