Hard Road Again

The moon she lays low tonight
 I pray for morning light
 With bloody palms and muddy jeans
 The mountain mourns the travel weeps
 And you claim to be the highway kind but you could take the hard road again
 Spring's gone season change
 Shyanne calls my name
 And I get up on westbound train
 Drags me through the summer rain
 Oh and you may have your reasons but you could take the hard road again
 And money comes and money goes
 Dirty thing we all own
 I threw my wallet in the fire
 Some folks think that I'm a liar
 From what I gather you're a fool and you could take the hard road again
 And this valley will keep me clean
 City lights bring me grief
 Oh I've done things that I ain't proud of I should be in jail or in the ground
 And you can worry wrong and right and I will take the hard road again
 If you I love is why I'm here for times of war and times of tears
 I never cared for life too much oh it's too much blood and not enough guts
 Oh and you can wish on starry nights and I will take the hard road again
 Oh and you can worry wrong and right and I will take the hard road again
