Guy Clark - 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 would make it rain If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry And lay me down dissatisified 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 Tell my baby I said so long Tell my mother I did no wrong Tell my brother to watch his own Tell my friends to mourn me none Chained upon the face of time Feeling full of foolish rhyme There ain't no dark 'til something shines I'm bound to leave this dark behind 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
