lyrics

REX'S BLUES by Townes Van Zandt

Ride the blue wind high and free
She’ll lead you down to misery
Lead 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

It’s legs to walk and thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow and grown to die

Tell my baby I said so long
Tell my mother I done no wrong
Tell my little brother to watch his own
And tell my friends to mourn me none

I’m chained upon the face of time
Feeling full of foolish rhyme
There ain’t no dark till something shines
I’m bound to leave this dark behind

Ride the blue wind high and free
She’ll lead you down to misery
Lead you low come time to go
Alone and low as low can be
