Birds aint even awake yet
just the darkness and the regret
and it'll be hours before the sun comes up
a distant freight train is calling
the dew begins its falling
and in a spiders web somewhere
a struggle erupts
and as the night shift winds down
and the day it starts to roll
i can't help but wonder if you know
you're with me wherever i go
the Lord he won't ride with me
no hard feelings though
i mean, He still forgives me
and we catch up on old times every now and again
He says i, i break down too often
but He's old as the world you know
i'm afraid He's gone soft and
He don't like my stories any more than
He likes my sins
i get the cold, the lonely
and i get the road
i pay my tolls, another town
another show
and atop the cross
always that same crippled crow
you're with me wherever i go
i see your face when the waitress brings the drinks
i hear your voice at the bar
i recognize your shadow on a cobblestone street
under the gas lights and the last faded star
so saddle up a mule and hit the road
burn your baggage to lighten up the load
and pray to God that He finds you a way home
you're with me wherever i go
