lyrics
Blue and red lights they been scaring you these days //
The wind it howls and cries down this old highway //
It’s been singing “where you been headed these days?” //
That old highway runs through the old farmer’s corn //
All the bad birds they been flying south with no remorse //
They been singing “where you been headed these days?” //
This morning the hills they smiled back at your eyes //
And you don’t know why but somethin in your bones know it ain’t right //
They been screamin “where you been headed these days?” //
I said “my friend where you been these days?” //
Seems like your grace got lost along the way //
And all you can taste is rye whiskey and shame //
The hound he sniffs he’s on another trail again
And he won’t stop till the blood spills and the marrow runs thin
Part time river he bathes in the morn
Part time momma he’s been beggin for
There’s a darkness that cover these skies some nights
There’s a man in your eyes when the money’s gettin tight
It’s like he don’t know the difference
‘tween disappointment and surprise
I’m gonna sing you this song, sing you this reprise
You’d sell all your breath for a pack of cigarettes
Maybe this old stale world can again taste fresh
Smokey times where they been lately?
So fix up that ol’ bike my ol’ boy
We’ll go riding we’ll go fighting playing war on the countryside
Smokey times where they been lately?
