There is a story you should hear from not to long ago It all began 100 years bad lands New Mexico There was a man his ragged soul would drift from town to town Not much was known about this man except he laid em down He'd walk and sing in the moonlight and light a cigarette He'd stroll inside the gamblers halls and place big mighty bet's And he'd always say as he would smile His hand's began to shake Have no fear you're God is near The levee is soon to break
this was a bedtime story my father used to tell me it always seemed mysterious I asked him about whether it was true or not and he said I wrote it but the legend whether it was true or not was up to the listener
