Blue Soul Dark Road

don't know much about the way I feel
I work alone in a twisted wheel
wheel spinning by the side of the road
the wheel is warm but the road is cold

hard of heart from living co low
I wake up early with no place to go
I run my hands in any icy stream
I shake the tears from a fading dream

half a league to my mystic town
first snow falling on the ground

I got a blue soul and a dark road
you take a trip just to find our life
and that's the start of the beauty and strife
a woman helped me out one of them days
she slapped my hard for my lying ways

in the kitchen I took the blame
I left her house in a ringing shame

I got a blue soul and a dark road

a touch of cold on the lonely heights
I'm sleeping under the pines tonight
and if I wake up in the pouring rain
I just get up and start all over again

I got a blue soul and a dark road
