lyrics

I've cried enough tears
To get this county through a drought
Looking back on the years
You'd think I'd dry out
But I move the current faster
Than the trains on that old rail
As I kick away the dust
Over another lonesome trail

Secret city in a mountain
Overlooking all beyond that gate
Prison souvenir shops
And a thousand other things I hate
But the way that sky looks
Early winter when the evening's late
Helps us forget hell's heat
Two thousand miles below the interstate

The Arkansas will flood
Through every ranch and canyon
The dirt will turn to mud
Now that I've lost my companion
I saw a great storm cloud
Blend into the mountain
But you couldn't hear the thunder
Over all of my shouting

In a county full of prisoners
Guess I'm lucky it's just house arrest
Watching dozens of little birds
Fly down from their snowy nests
I know that the one I leave
Is not the one I love the best
But no matter where I go
My heart's always out in the west
