lyrics

Like A Blank

My guts are tied in knots my eyes are filled with clay
I’ll get there when I leave when I get my way
Like a blank I missed it
Guess I better roll it back one more time

Branded like a long horn on the down hill drag
Drunk on my reflection like an evening stag
Like a blank I missed it
Guess I must have had a hole in my mind

There’s a fire on the mountain, there’s a fire below
There’s a fire in the garden where the wind won’t blow
Like a blank I missed it
Guess I better roll it back one more time

I guess I better roll it back like a big old stone
Nothin’ gonna stop it on its way back home
Like a blank I missed it
Guess I better roll it back one more time

Like a blank I missed it
Guess I better roll it back one more time
I better roll it back down the railroad track
There ain’t nothin’ at the end of the line

There’s a fire on the mountain. there’s a fire below
There’s a fire in the garden where the wind won’t blow
Like a blank I missed it
Guess I better roll it back one more time
