Desert Walk

DESERT WALK
 As I walk alone the suns slows me the shadows show me
 The hurt that can't be wrong, the pain inside me how it guides me
 Away from you - every step I take is true
 The steps help me walk away these lonesome blues
 Too much love at once hurts the longest and strains the strongest
 I let my love be had by a pretty stranger she held no danger
 Til the sin did rise and I missed those hazel eyes
 I'm walking now to chase away these lonesome blues
 Now I wished I'd listened to my mama
 She said son make sure you take a wife that's true
 But I got bright eyes in the middle of a barroom pretty
 Now I wish I could ask my mama what to do
 I still keep walking on
 Lord I'm thirsty, my clothes are filthy
 The desert stretches on
 My mind is empty, my boots are dusty but the pain is still here
 In my chest and now I fear
 I'll meet my maker to shake away these lonesome blues
