No Way out but Down Songtext

von Graham Lindsey

Right as rain red as rust
Brick by brick I turn to dust
No I never had a name that you could trust
Of all the deeds I've ever done
I am not proud of a single one
So let me rot beneath the burning sun
I'm on my way I'm on my way

My shack burnt down and my cows are gone
And this old mountain is all I've got
Well I never had a prayer anyhow
I've gone to the well but the well was dry
And I tried to cross the river but the water was high
Now I lay me down on the railroad ties
There's no way out but down

I've got a dream that never ends
The world goes black and cold and dim
And I can't wake up until it's light again
I'm on my way I'm on my way
There's nothing left of me to save
So I'm going back from where I came
I'm on my way I'm on my way
