Scatter The Ashes
(专辑: After The Storm - 2002)
He got busted up bad down in Lubbock He was taking the
greyhound back home. Though the
fire in his eye never flickered, He knew the
best of his good days were gone, He said I'm thinking a
lot about retiring, But the
rodeo life is all that I
know, Saying I
don't know what to do with the
rest, But I'm too burned out to go on. He said, [CHORUS:] Scatter the
ashes over the
road, Then let a
strong wind blow, When I
can't walk away, It's my time to go. He said son my road map to heaven Sometimes leads me out of the
way Through those rodeo towns and those drunking old sundowns Someday to an early grave. He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder, He said before you throw dirt on my bones, Hey tell me what do you do with the
broken old cowboy. Who spend his whole life being thrown. He said, [CHORUS x3]
