Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are the words that cry out of me in the night
Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast, scattered in flight
I got a one-track mind
Goin' down a one-train line
Livin' on dreams half the time
Goin' West
[Verse 2]
I gotta pick up speed
Just to get what I need
The end of the line, guaranteed
Your love is my rest
[Verse 3]
The coal catches fire
And I'm down the wire in a flash
That big old smokestack is belchin' out black smoke and ash
So sad to think of hurtin' the one you love
But surely that's what leavin' does
You would know best
[Verse 4]
I gotta pick up speed
Just to get what I need
The end of the line, guaranteed
Your love is my rest
Your love is my rest
[Verse 5]
I stand in the land of Custer's Last Stand
And I grin
So this is where old Yellow Hair's Ghost Dance begins
I got the blood on my hands
Can't even live where I stand
But I'm just a travelin' man
Cursed or blessed
[Verse 6]
I gotta pick up speed
Just to get what I need
The end of the line, guaranteed
Your love is my rest
I gotta pick up speed
Just to get what I need
The end of the line, guaranteed
Your love is my rest
Your love is my rest
Your love is my rest
