Bedroll Lullaby

Did you ever wander far from home?

Far from what is safe and comfortable?

Trading all your demons for the moon

And sleeping till the sun makes it all true.

I don't know how long I've been gone

And I can't say when I'll get home.

I'll keep my engine clean and strong

And run this soul where it belongs.

Somewhere I can hear a lonesome train

Burning in a direction I can't name.

I'll shut my eyes and lay these bones to rest

Off the beaten path we all know best.

I don't know how long I've been gone

And I can't say when I'll get home.

I'll keep my engine clean and strong

And run this soul where it belongs.

Maybe I'm just spinning wheels lost in a world

That lost the thrill of living on the edge until

It's time for the bedroll, until the ember's gone.
