Crossing Muddy Waters
John Hiatt
4:06These are the words, cry out of me in the night Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast scattered in flight I got a one track mind going down a one train line Livin' on dreams half the time, going west I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Coal catches fire, I'm down the wire in a flash That big old smoke stack is belching out black smoke and ash So sad to think of hurting the one you love But surely that's what leavin' does, you'd know best I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest We pass through the land of Custer's last stand and I grieved So this is where old Yellow Hair's ghost dance begins I got the blood on my hands, can't even live where I stand I'm just a traveling man, cursed or blessed I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest Your love is my rest
