Narrow Way

I'm gonna walk across the desert, 'til I'm in my right mind
 I won't even think about, what I left behind
 Nothing back there anyway, that I can call my own
 Go back home, leave me alone
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 Ever since the British, burned the White House down
 There's a bleeding wound, in the heart of town
 I saw you drinking, from an empty cup
 I saw you buried, and I saw you dug up
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 
 Look down angel, from the skies
 Help my, weary soul to rise
 I kissed her cheek, I dragged your plough
 You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 ♪
 In the courtyard, of the golden sun
 You stand and fight, or you break and run
 You went and lost, your lovely head
 For a drink of wine, and a crust of bread
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 
 We nodded and we plundered, on distant shores
 Why is my share, not equal to yours
 Your father left you, your mother too
 Even death has, washed its hands of you
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 This is hard country, to stay alive in
 Blades are everywhere, and they're breaking my skin
 I'm armed to the hilt, and I'm struggling hard
 You won't get out, of here unscarred
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 You got too many lovers, waiting at the wall
 About a thousand tons, I couldn't count them all
 Yesterday, I could've thrown them all in the sea
 Today, even one, may be too much for me
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 ♪
 Can't walk them baby, you could do no wrong
 Put your arms around me, where they belong
 I won't take you under, for the ghost to ride
 Lay my hands all over ya, tie you to my side
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 I've got a heavy stacked woman, with a smile on her face
 And she has crowned, my soul with grace
 I'm still hurting from an arrow, that pierced my chest
 I'm gonna have to take my head, and bury it between your breasts
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 
 Been dark all night, but now it's dawn
 The moving finger, is moving on
 You can guard me, while I sleep
 Piss away, the tears I weep
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
 ♪
 I love women, and she loves men
 We've been to the west, and we going back again
 I heard a voice, at the dusk of day
 Saying, "Be gentle brother, be gentle and pray."
 It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
 If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
