v.1
A new day is shining across the railyard
I slice my breakfast with a beer bottle shard
A tin of sardines and a pack of saltines
with a Coke can of water from an artesian spring
v.2
A lifetime of heartache has taken its toll
If love is salvation, then I’m a lost soul
I dream unconcerned with the passage of time
I live for the next breath while daylight is mine
I ain’t a rambler
I just lift up my feet
Hold onto my spot
while earth spins beneath
When I reach the place
that my soul is called home
Oh Lord, that’s where
I’m gonna rest my bones
v.3
Yesterday was Phoenix, tomorrow Tucson
Always dreamt of the west when I was young
So I’m chasin’ the sunsets and seein’ the sights
And I’ll sleep ‘neath the trestle, come the moonlight
I ain’t a rambler
I just lift up my feet
Hold onto my spot
while earth spins beneath
When I reach the place
that my soul is called home
Oh Lord, that’s where
I’m gonna rest my bones
