Walkin' Through the Desert (With a Crow)

It was sunday mornin' and I found myself alone

I took me a shovel and I dug myself a hole

At times I thought that I would die

But I left those days somewhere behind

There's only so much a man can take

Before he knows

He knows he's gonna break

Cuz a man's gotta take what he can take

When he's got one foot down in the grave

You never know where the road is gonna end

Sometimes I think this bird

This bird's my only friend

I murdered my past life and I covered up its bones

I gathered my possessions and I took out on the road

There's been nights I drank myself to sleep

I lay my head on nails with bottles at my feet

When I awoke I thought I was free

But there he'd be

That bird that follows me

A man ain't meant to be alone

With demons scratching at his soul

If I had wings I'd probably fly

If I had tears I know

I'd probably cry
