Carrie Rodriguez - Rex's Blues lyrics

Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come, time to go Alone and low as low can be If I had a nickel, I'd find a game If I won a dollar, I'd make it rain If it rained an ocean, I'd drink it dry And lay me down dissatisfied Oh, lay me down dissatisfied It's legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes to laugh and lips to cry A restless tongue to cla**ify All born to grow and grown to die So tell my baby I said, "So long" Tell my mother I done no wrong Tell my brother to watch his own And tell my friends to mourn me none Oh, tell my friends to mourn me none I'm chained upon the face of time Feelin' full of foolish rhyme There ain't no dark till something shines I'm bound to leave this dark behind So ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come, time to go Alone and low as low can be Alone and low as low can be Alone and low as low can be
