No Way Out but Down

Right as rain red as rust
 Brick by brick I turn to dust
 No I never had a name that you could trust
 Of all the deeds I've ever done
 I am not proud of a single one
 So let me rot beneath the burning sun
 I'm on my way I'm on my way
 My shack burnt down and my cows are gone
 And this old mountain is all I've got
 Well I never had a prayer anyhow
 I've gone to the well but the well was dry
 And I tried to cross the river but the water was high
 Now I lay me down on the railroad ties
 There's no way out but down
 I've got a dream that never ends
 The world goes black and cold and dim
 And I can't wake up until it's light again
 I'm on my way I'm on my way
 There's nothing left of me to save
 So I'm going back from where I came
 I'm on my way I'm on my way
