lyrics

I walked out into the street
And strait out of town
Don’t have the time to check my direction
But I've got the time to walk for days
To not give them what they want
To search for nothin' and find it
To be my own lover
But I found a lover anyway
And this road follows its own road
So I wander through the dead train yard
Keep a burnin’ on

I walked out into the street and strait outta town
Don't have the time to check my direction
But I've got the time to float down a slow river
To not get to nowhere fast
To praise the grace of a rhinestone
To see the sky on the water
Come take me down to the love in her face
This rogue follows many roads
So I rest under the heavy stars
And keep a-burnin’ on

Strait out of town
Don't have the time to check my direction
But I've got the time
To walk for days
To not give them what they want
To search for nothin' and find it
To search for nothin'
