I am a poor wayfaring stranger I cut the line, I brave the danger I've come to seek my savior
I close my eyes to see her face I lay down to die on my devil's highway
Then beneath the sand there lies a story There are ghosts who wait and hide There were others who saw glory faded fast before me
I close my eyes to see her face I lay down to die on my devil's highway
With the earthbound heavens aflame The thicket cuts me to the bone The carry on howl calls me by name Masses that the desert claims I'm going back home, back home
I close my eyes to see her face I lay down to die on my devil's highway
