lyrics

Highway Crooks

These tales that I traveled with are long
There are holes in the soles of these songs
And the wind didn’t listen
But it howled out decisions
And I’ve heard them all before
I couldn’t quite shack the truth when it was found
So I dug my self a hole deep in the ground
There was no place to left to that I hadn’t already ran to
But that’s just the way it’s always gone down

Red was the color that turned the knife back
So I hid my heart some place I couldn’t get at
There was nothing left to take that hadn’t already been took
But that’s me I’m just laughing killing time like some highway crook


I was awake there at your door
That was someplace I had feared so long ago
But I forgot what I was, was I your raven or your dove
I was just glad, glad, to be home

Red was the color that turned the knife back
So I hid my heart some place I couldn’t get at
There was nothing left to take that hadn’t already been took
But that’s me I’m just laughing killing time like some highway crook
