Dirt Road Blues

(album: Time Out Of Mind - 1997)

Gonna walk down that dirt road
'Til someone lets me ride
Gonna walk down that dirt road
'Til someone lets me ride
If I can't find my baby
I'm gonna run away and hide.

Well, I've been pacing 'round the room
Hoping maybe she'd come back
Pacing 'round the room
Hoping maybe she'd come back
Well, I've been praying for salvation
Laying 'round in a one-room country shack.

Gonna walk down that dirt road
Until my eyes begin to bleed
Gonna walk down that dirt road
Until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see
'Til the chains have been shattered and I've been freed.

But I've been at my shadow
I been watching the colors up above
Looking at my shadow
Watching the colors up above
Rolling through the rain and hail
Looking for the sunny side of love.

Gonna walk on that dirt road
'Til everything becomes the same
Gonna walk down that dirt road
'Til everything becomes the same
I'll keep on walking 'til I hear her holler at my name.
