walkin through the desert with a crow

Ghoultown

it was sunday mornin and I found myself alone
walkin through the desert with a crow
I took me a shovel and I dug myself a hole
walkin through the desert with a crow

at times I thought that I would die
but I left those days somewhere behind
there?s only so much a man can take
before he knows
he knows he?s gonna break

cuz a man?s gotta take what he can take
when he?s got one foot down in the grave
you never know where the road is gonna end
sometimes I think this bird
this bird?s my only friend

chorus:
walkin through the desert with a crow

I murdered my past life and I covered up its bones
walkin through the desert with a crow
I gathered my possessions and I took out on the road
walkin through the desert with a crow

there?s been nights I drank myself to sleep
I lay my head on nails with bottles at my feet
when I awoke I thought I was free
but there he?d be
that bird that follows me

a man ain?t meant to be alone
with demons scratching at his soul
if I had wings I?d probably fly
if I had tears I know
I?d probably cry
