Lewis County Line
Well the money ran out Wednesday
after parting with and parting out all that I could stand
and the little dream that kept me going
through the hungry times imploded with the band
and now the engine won’t turn over in
this hand –me-down seven five Chevrolet
and if I could catch a break it could start to turn my rotten luck around
and in my heart I hope I do someday
Broken down on the Lewis County Line
Out of love and still owing money
To an ex good friend of mine
There’s no American dream
just this troubled sleep but we're doing fine
Trying to gain some ground
down on the Lewis County Line
It’s been seven months,
twenty days and six hours six I’ve seen
A job as steady as the rain
that’s been laying it’s heavy hands down upon me
And all of the whispered moments
that we built on soft eyes and harder drinks
Dried up like the wishing wells
we threw our fears in hoping they would sink
Broken down on the Lewis County Line
Out of love and still owing money
To an ex good friend of mine
There’s no American dream just this troubled sleep
but we're doing fine
tryin to gain some ground
down on the Lewis County Line
I used to look into your wild grey eyes
for a little hope during the uncertain times
We leaned upon each other
when the wind blew us from side to side
But lately I’ve been falling down
since the night you said goodbye
Broken down on the Lewis County Line
Out of love and still owing money
To an ex good friend of mine
There’s no American dream just this troubled sleep but we’re doing fine
Trying to gain some ground
down on the Lewis County Line
