Moon Song 03:12
Followed your road till the sky ran out Followed your love till love was in doubt Followed your love till it never really was at all Feeling stupid and hollow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Waited for you till the snow fell down Over my skin like a thin nightgown Waited for you but you never came around at all Waited for you till they pulled the plug Bartender emptied out his big tip jug They swept all the floors Vacuumed the rugs and went home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Time go easy on me tonight I'm one of the lost sheep alright Take what you must, take what you must Of what I've lost as I have roamed Let the moon follow me home Followed your tears with a washing pail I followed your story I followed your tail Followed you straight through the Doors of your jail cell too Followed your voice in the darkness soft A wind came through and carried it off I followed your love till it never really was at all Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home

Long black limousine Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in a race car, and you flying through the clouds I've had some time to think about you And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We laid ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red I've had some time to think about you And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home Headlights staring at the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent It seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about you And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long, on the long Oh the long, on the long On the long ride home

I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wish it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud But that won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing that's never going to be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings off that little song bird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now Top of the world I don't have to answer any of these questions Don't have no God to teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair There's a whole lot of singing that's never going to be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings off that little song bird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now Top of the world I wished I'd have known you Wished I'd have shown you All of the things I was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in in the morning To whisper goodbye And go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why Because everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Want to grab a hold of that little song bird Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now To the top of the world

You know you've done enough when every bone is sore You know you've prayed enough when you don't ask any more You know you're coming to some kind of understanding When every dream you've dreamed has passed and you're still standing Mama says god tends to every little skinny sheep So count your ribs and say your prayers and get to sleep Nothing is louder to god's ears than a poor mans sorrow Daddy is poor today and he will be poor tomorrow Hey that's the poor man's house Everybody get a look at the poor man's house Everywhere they went before must have turned them out And now they're living in a poor man's house There's nothing like poverty to get you into heaven They got a lot of wine and fish up there And the bread's unleavened They got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crack Lots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backs Daddy's been working too much for days and days He doesn't eat He never says much but I think this time it's got him beat It isn't that he isn't strong or kind or clever Your daddy's poor today And he will be poor forever That's the poor man's house Those kids are living in a poor man's house They walk to school with the soles of their shoes worn out And come home in the evening to the poor man's house What are you chopping that wood for Why are you growing that corn Mama's sewing a brand new shirt and You're wearing the one that's torn I guess it's for some one else's kid who wasn't born In a poor man's house Hey take a look at that house Everybody we're living in a poor man's house Seems like everywhere we go they find us out Find out that we've been living in a poor man's house

Red lights are flashing on the highway I wonder if we're gonna ever get home I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight Everywhere the waters getting rough Your best intentions may not be enough I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you when it don't come easy I don't know nothing except change will come Year after year what we do is undone Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run I wonder if we're gonna ever get home You're out there walking down a highway And all of the signs got blown away Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you when it don't come easy So many things that I had before That don't matter to me now Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost And the love I've never found When the last bird falls And the last siren sounds Someone will say what's been said before Its only love we were looking for But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you And stay by you when it don't come easy
