lyrics

Crooked Bootheel Dreams

Stars strip the night of darkness
Pull the thread of a blanket sky
Turning circles in the windshield
Turning circles into time

Sister wrap my arm around you
Windows down and the heat on high
Ocean sound's a sleeping shudder
The highway hum is a lullaby

I am just a lonely rambler
Looking for a wandering rhyme
You're a kind of loose-change gambler
Betting on a pair of nines

Crooked bootheels and empty pockets
Feel just a little out of sorts
One from dreaming, one from walking
Both just a hair off course

It's you and me and constellations
Cruising through the midnight air
If the road was a wish waiting
Honey, I could take you there

Where you are and where you want to be
That's all you need to know
The hours between the two
They're the reasons that you go

Back-roads and the red woods
Got me so damned confused
You're a silent kind of forest
I'm the ocean filled with blues

Your head in my lap resting
Dreaming where there is no "why?"
I don't know too much for certain
But I know your sleeping sigh

Rises like rolling waters
Looking for a place to land
Falls like the pinks and oranges
When the day decides to end

Clouds cling to the coming morning
Sets a darkness darker down
Most times it would make me lonesome
Not tonight with you around

Rain she falls like a diamond shines
In trembling hands on a lover's knee
Wets the white beach sands of time
She connects the ocean to the trees

Ah, to taste the water falling
Ah, to turn with the world in time
It's an active Alleluia
Spinning with the traveling kind

If you get around to losing
Everything but your mischief schemes
I'll be waiting there
And we will chase your crooked bootheel dreams
