In a richland deserrt dust bowl

scrape the low clouds

And sway when the wind would blow

The mu sic in the kitchen

Seemed to come from out of nowhere
A

But me, I'd want to know

Out behind the wreckin' yard

The Rock Island Station

Rumbled with the trains rollin'

Like a big iron rhino char

gin' down the track

The brakemen and the hobos

Would leave me there at sundown

A
Down through the canyon
D
Rolled a winding river

A cross between a trickle

and a stream

I floated wooden boats
D
in the long afternoons
A

Till night, an eternity it seemed
A
I dreamed I saw the angels

coming for my brother

And I begged them not to go
D
I'd wake up in the moonlight

With the tears still in my eyes

Wondering where

the dreams did go

Wondering where the dreams did go

And the radio towers still

scrape the low clouds

And sway when the winds do blow

I traded all my wishes for a

cloud of blowin' sand
A

In a rich land desert dust bowl

Holed up in a hotel with a

suitcase full of dreams

Hangin' on to save my soul

Hangin' on to save my soul
