Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Everything was almost decided when we were young You’ll stay poor like your family before And I’ll keep hustling On the backroads and in the cities I sang for me And we always knew like the driver to the screw What was meant to be My head was in the drift smoke My heart was in the words Of the poet and the hobo you never heard Lost time in an ashtray And misery in a fold ‘Cause somewhere in the distance Was a canvas of gold Grabbed ideas looking out the window Of a driving mind A two lane frame up and down again For a dream I can’t deny And when we got caught in the silence we made amends The wind blew your name to the lock on the chain And my dead thoughts walked again My head was in the drift smoke My heart was in the words Of the poet and the hobo you never heard Lost time in an ashtray And misery in a fold ‘Cause somewhere in the distance Was a canvas of gold Train chuggin’ to health and glory on the poverty line It galloped off the track Pushed down the grass Crushed the crossing sign And when night fell we read a chapter From every book we wrote And I’ll say it to you what lies in the truth With the bread we never broke My head was in the drift smoke My heart was in the words Of the poet and the hobo you never heard Lost time in an ashtray And misery in a fold ‘Cause somewhere in the distance Was a canvas of gold
