Starlight

On the dusty edge of Wanblee
She was thumbing for a ride
She cocked her head and said her 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 - 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
A Buick and a gun
Searched every Interstate for
Starlight
Starlight- She walked on every dream I ever had
One day way up in Koochiching
Full of whiskey and despair
I heard her 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- She walked on every dream I ever had
Found her at a motel
And I yanked open the door
But she had the drop on me
Starlight
A shotgun at her shoulder
She winked and said goodbye
Left me dying in the snow
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
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
Sweet as a crow
Draped in her black
purple and gold
Forgive all my sins
So I can lay down in the sound
Bind all my wounds
And lay down in the sound
