lyrics

Willie was a nervous man
He wasn’t sleeping right
Left his home for the open road
One warm September night
In the echoes of his footsteps
As he walked the darkened town
Was every choice he ever made
And every dollar he laid down.

Darlin’ don’t you cry for me;
I’ve been wandering alone
These seven years.

While his wife lay sleeping
He rode a southbound train
And the wheels rolled to the rhythm
Of the pounding of the rain
And each town that fell behind him
To be swallowed by the night
Was like every dream
that failed him
In the pale blue morning light.
