Lyrics Transcendental Blues - Steve Earle

Transcendental Blues

In the darkest hour of the longest night
If it was in my power Id step into the light
Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe
Walk upon the water transcendental blues
Happy ever after til the day you die
Careful what you ask for, you dont know til you try
Hands are in your pockets, starin at your shoes
Wishin you could stop it transcendental blues
If I had it my way, everything would change
Out here on this highway the rules are still the same
Back roads never carry you where you want em to They leave you standin there with them ol transcendental blues
