Starlight

On the dusty edge of Wanblee, she was thumbing for a ride
She cocked her head and said name was Starlight
I taught her how to drive a rig and she gave me this guitar
She was like a dream to me - Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had
She left me in the desert, snake-bit and fixed to die
I watched her drive off in the heat - Starlight
I traded all I had for an old Buick and a gun
I searched every interstate for Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had
One day way up in Koochiching, full of whiskey and despair
I heard a voice on the frequency - Starlight
My head was suddenly filled with all the devils and their doom
I gripped the wheel and spat her name - Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had
I found her at a motel, I yanked open the door
But she had the drop on me - Starlight
Shotgun at her shoulder, she winked and said "goodbye"
Left me dying in the snow - Starlight.
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had

Lay Down in the Sound

Wake up in the fall
Tears turned to snow
I'm pretty damned well
Used to the cold
I walked out on a friend
I walked down the road
He was singing my name
And a song that I wrote
Forgive all my sins
So I can lay down in the sound
Bind all my wounds
And lay down in the sound
I hold this pen
Like a gun in my hand
I can't pretend
That I'm happy you called
I'll never sing
As sweet as a crow
Draped in her black,
Purple, and gold.
