Shadowland — текст песни (Steve Earle)

(Steve Earle)

Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows
There`s a place there lonely fools can go
Where if you hold your money, it`ll burn your hand
So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland

chorus
Down the highway, down the road I`m bound
And my heart keeps poundin` and the wheels go `round
And it`s a hard place for a mortal man
And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own
My right hand was thunder and my left was stone
Now I ain`t as handsome as I was back then
So I`m takin` my chances in the shadowland

chorus

Been down a thousand highways and they`re all the same
Another empty place where I can hide my shame
And there`s a heartache waitin` up around the bend
For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland

chorus
