Ragged Soul - Dirtwater

Moving out, can you see that shine Feel the change as you roll on down the line Where the shore fires burn out on a new frontier Where the past don't haunt you and there's Nothing else to fear Baby don't you hold out too long They might not let you be (CHORUS) Movin' out feel the wind in your hair Where the sun shines at night, I can take you there To the land of the midnight sun, Ragged Ass Road I carried you, you carried me Nothin' we can't hold, nothing we can't be They've taken everything and what have they put back I really don't give a damn 'cause there's nothin here that we lack Baby don't you hold out too long They might not set you free (CHORUS) They might not want to let you see They can't hold on, as your soul might not let you be, Stand back while it burns For the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road All the time, again and again Standin' out where you might see them shine Oh did you find the midnight sun Down on Ragged Ass Road Are you out there everybody out there with me Shout it out, shout it out there, one more time To the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road She's a dandy, yeah you bet There's some things that you haven't seen yet In the land of the midnight sun Ragged Ass Road

I will run, yes, I will roll I will climb your mountains high Through the valleys of deceit Through the cold winds of denial And though you fear the cold dark I'll be right here by your side 'Cause until you know just who you are You'll never know I'm near not far I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise I've damned these torrents from your eyes, I know From the bosom to bare bones Between the oceans and the sky Since before time began I have walked your ragged mile And I will call like the crow I'll be right there by your side I am the candle in your darkest night Whether you're wrong, whether you're right I'll be there in your finest hour I'll be there when it all turns sour I know you are, I know who you are I know you are, I know who you are I know you are, I know who you are I know who you are And though at times you'll be at your knees It's better than just running blind I'll push you straight into the deep I'll challenge you, boy, every time And I won't fall and I won't waiver I'll be right there by your side 'Cause until you be just who you are I'll never stop, I'll always call I've caught your falls, I've helped you rise I've damned these torrents from your eyes I know you are, I know who you are I know you are, I know who you are I know you are, I know who you are Know you are home

If you were born here Deep in these age old woods You would know a thing of trees and deer And wouldn't want to leave and stay for good In these woods I'll never be alone In these woods Is what I call my home If you'd look closely here you would see We got a bunch of legends here I would never trade these pines 'Cause these woods is where I'll want to die In these woods The life I can call mine In these woods Is where I want to die In these woods The life I can call mine In these woods Is where I want to die

When the first light hits the morning He rolls himself into another minute of sleep When the bell cracks the silence This familiar pain comes back as the days before He puts on his boots and his black coat To walk the same old road like he always did A rolled up smoke cold cup of coffee And one last kiss for the next ten hours or so Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream He's got nothing in his pockets All the cash he'd earned he spent To buy his blue eyed darling A shiny ring to keep her at his side As he comes home from the coal mine He finds her with another man inside That's how life puts him to test He turns his head and goes for the best Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream Every day living a low life Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream

Early in the morning before the rooster crows I lie awake and think about my soul All the years have gone by all the memories are worn The further way almost seems forlorn The preacher prayed, the devil grinned The celestial choir sang the hymn But the great door man won't let me in 'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin I drained all the high hopes in every bitter brew I found Hit the bottom of the glass for my last round All those bygone lovers vanish from my mind My bags are packed headin' for the other side The preacher prayed, the devil grinned The celestial choir sang the hymn But the great door man won't let me in 'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin
