lyrics

Blazing across the wheat-covered fields
I saw a flash off to the south
I took a drink of tangy warm fluid
and swished it around in my mouth
and sprayed it over my shoulder
the mist hung up in the air
There used to be a place where I could lay down my burden
and I was on my way there

Those salty tears running down my face
they wash away but I still remember the taste
Goddamn it all, I just don't care
You can take me like I am, or drop me off at a station somewhere

Had you been there when we fled out of town
you would not have been redeemed
You would've found yourself all alone on the highway
and it's nothing like what you dreamed
You're made out of what you were given
think whatever you like
But don't come back home with your eyes on your shoes
feeling sorry for the rest of your life
