Leo Kottke - Driver lyrics

Way down there it's raining dust And snakes police the roads And a truck weighed down with misery stops and unloads And 18 broken pa**engers, their blood as thick as mud Beg for water, for anything the driver waves good luck The sun's been frying lizards hidden under rocks And now it fries the refugees and turns their brains to chalk Eighteen men and women and one brand new pair of shoes And the driver's back at the border, what's he got to lose The night wind screams across the freezing ground There's no one left to tremble or to fear for him now Their bones are scattered drifting like the snow That falls each night and settles all around his soul All around his soul
