After Here Through Midland

9. After Here Through Midland



Thought my days here were given up for forgotten

Can't burn cedar, it must come out by the roots

I'm not driving, but I'm taking bets

Six full hours and we ain't crossed it yet

One more stop after here through Midland I know

One more stop after here through Midland I know

Till I come to rest...



Turn back now and I might as well read my fortune

And lose this vengeance long since been overdue

Half-awake there is not much left

Walk my dollar across to Juarez

One more stop after here through Midland I know

One more stop after here through Midland I know

Till I come to rest



I left some worn-out dreams hanging on a wire

The city that's my passage to the west

Is just over the rise
