James McMurtry - Rex's lyrics

rate me

ride the blue wind high and free

she'll lead you down to misery

leave you low come time to go

alone and low as low can be

if I had a nickle I'd find a game

if I won a dollar I'd make it rain

if it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry

and lay me down dissatisfied

tell my sister I said so long

tell my mother I did no wrong

tell my brother to watch his own

tell my friends to mourn me none

legs to walk and thoughts to fly

eyes to laugh and lips to cry

a restless tongue to classify

all born to grow and grown to die

chained across the face of time

feeling full of foolish rhyme

there aint no dark 'til something shines

I'm bound to leave this dark behind

ride the blue wind high and free

she'll lead you down to misery

leave you low come time to go

alone and low as low can be
