Speak at me from the static
3,000 miles east
Running deep in the shallows
Staring up at the light
Gotta be going somewhere
Trains all take a track
But I'm highway homeless
Going nowhere fast
No blues
God is on the back road
Wearing devil's clothes
Never thought us falling
All my devils rose
Can you hear the music
Whisper through the years
Tender as your teardrop
Flowing through my beard
No blues
So drink on Dionysus
Bacchus get his back
Let the chorus lift us
Let your skies collapse
And the river it will find us
Boatman row slow
One more song for harvest
One kiss before we go
No blues
