lyrics

Well I’ve been walking down this lonely dusty highway I’ve been feeling a bit forsaken and confused
I’ve been wandering trough this empty desert wasteland for so long my feet are blistered and badly bruised
There’s a woman on the other side of freedom they say that she can cure me of my blues
I don’t know if she’s really got the answer but I’ve sunk so low I got nothing left to lose
If she can show me to the drinking well or at least mend my highway shoes

I met a man walking slowly by the ocean he said that he could cleanse me of my sin
For twenty dollars said he’d get me straight to Heaven he said “listen son there’s no way you can’t win”
“Because there are men who’ll take away your life” rob you of your dignity well they’ll cut you with a knife”
“But I know that what you need’s a friend” I’ve seen your troubles I’ve seen where you’ve been”
Well he took my twenty dollars then he turned and kicked me in the shin. what a friend
