DIRT DEVIL
It’s been too many nights.. in the New Mexico desert And I’m turning into a dirt devil
And I can’t seem to keep my teeth from showin’ Nobody can keep the wind from blowin’ Whichever way the wind blows Those tumble weeds are sure to roll
Look what the wind blew in.. you and I we’re just dirt blowin’ in the wind – Time is nothing, but mine is everything 28 days later I can’t remember anything – And I’ve got soul, but I’m a whirlwind Another year spent waiting for the leaves to leave the trees again – Another sunset I’m crawling home at dawn I’ll sweat two-fifths of Jack before the mornings gone – Days of our lives, sands in an hour glass weeks fly by but the days feel like they’ll never pass – Like you and I nothing here was meant to last – Another day another dollar another drink another empty glass.
Whichever way the wind blows those tumbleweeds are sure to roll
Whichever way that I roam those storm clouds are sure to roll
Followed my heart long way from the city Now it’s buried underneath the thistle and weeds Paper casket, skipped the eulogy
And then I made my way down to the river
Oh glory halleluiah
But I wondered off into the deep end
Been off the wagon every single week since
Whichever way the wind blows those tumbleweeds are sure to roll
Whichever way that I roam those storm clouds are sure to roll
