lyrics

I am a poor boy, and I am alone
Broke and down and out a thousand miles from home
I'm a worn down arrow wandering in the wind

And I've been running on my toes
For the California shores or the hills of Mexico
I've been running from all the folks that got me pinned

Well it's been a long time coming, and from all that I've seen
The times that I've been through, and everywhere I've been
My hat in my hand, the sun sinking low
An aching on my heart strings, it's time for me to go

My bets are on the table, I've got nothing left to burn
And where I've been I never can return
For now I'm riding to the sunset on a west-bound train
And you'll never find me back this way again

Well I've been burned, and I've been broke down
Tarnishes and abused more than I know now
I've been fumbling on my way on down the bend

And I've been chained, locked down to stay
I've been hung out to dry on a stormy day
While I was singing all my trials are soon to end

There's a fine line walking between the world we see and seem
And one I only knew once on the inside of a dream
I dreamed that I was lying in a field of waving gain
Diamond water sunsets, milk and honey lanes

Woke to the darkness, fumbling to find my way
Resolved to leave come the break of day
I'm going somewhere my soul won't feel no pain
And you'll never find me back this way again

You might find a pair of boots for a dollar and a dime
Or find the ones you're wearing will suit you just fine
You might find a living in the money that you made
You might die and find you've got nothing to your name

You might find salvation in the preacher's call
You might find there's nothing there at all
You might just find shelter from the pouring rain
But you'll never find me back this way again

No you'll never find me back this way again
