Now I'm standing at the start

This old dirt road and my ravaged heart

Are all that's left unless I'm dreaming

I've come so far this familiar fear

If pain is gold then I'm a millionaire

Your sordid theft won't make things even

My suit has turned from black to brown

I've swam through dust and I've been smacked around

The hand of lust does love misleading

But these squinting eyes have seen

The slow demise and the rise upstream

To know the end is near is freedom

Muscles ache I feel old and blind

The cowhide's warm but I'm cold in mine

The blazing sun is gone it's freezing

A pair of aces and a pair of eights

My fate is sealed but I'm prepared to wait

Just one more deal before I'm leaving

My shoes and hurt both custom made

I stare into the face on this rusted blade

And don't have much left to believe in

Can't feel my skin from behind the scars

I raise my head just to find the stars

They must be there I just can't see them

I guess there's no use trying to talk

What tongues have tied only eyes resolve

These two have seen their share of weeping

More moons have passed than I would care to know

From when I last knew why and where to go

This wounded country won't stop breathing

No flying sparks just a burning fuse

No greater loss a man could learn to lose

I tried to leave but who was I deceiving

Now I'm standing at the start

This old dirt road and my ravaged heart

Will soon be gone if I'm just dreaming
