Hard By the Highway

Five-hundred miles from the Mexican border

The days getting shorter, the nights getting colder

Hard by the highway he leans on her shoulder

A little bit tired and a little bit older

The days keep on running down through the seasons

Running like prairie fire, wild with no reason

The Devil's to pay for the moments he's seizing

Still nothing is lost that's left to believe in

He's got little to lose and his only companions

Are the liquor that he loves, the rambling and the gambling

The coyote answers from back in the canyon

Hungry for more than plain understanding

Sometimes it gets hard, sometimes it's amusing

When kindness repaid is just an illusion

When blind men know best what to make of confusion

And dead men know nothing at all

Still he dreams of a lady who'll lay down beside him

He prays for the day when the sweet Lord will guide him

To one who might drain all the poison inside him

Let him hang up his boots with his traveling behind him

But it's five-hundred miles from the Mexican border

The days getting shorter, the nights getting colder

As hard by the highway he leans on her shoulder

A little bit tired, a little bit older
