Racing sundown across the country

//

I knew
Somethin was wrong

Went to see all my friends
But they'd packed up and gone

2 ghosts talkin in the shadows
Was all that was left

Some things are  so painful
You just can't forget

Racin sundown across the country

///

We are the stuff that death feeds upon

We are the reasons we must love

////

The fires are burning in high hills

There is a song calls everyone by name

///

She said

I will take away all of your insecurities !

I picked up my rifle
And walked out the door

••

Along the  street where they used to lynch negroes

( now the police just shoot them down )

••

She cried out

I will heal you and make you whole

////

Only the whole world can do that

I replied

////

Yeah

Somethin ' s wrong

All my friends are hiding

2 ghosts talkin in the shadows
Is all that's left

But the sun ' s goin down

& I  best be movin on
