"Roll On, Southern Sky" (The Demiurge ☢)

The magnolia's heavy on the summer air There's a freight train humming like it doesn't care I've been walking fields that my father knew Every furrow's older than the both of us two The sun is bleeding through the pine Every breath a little higher take it higher, take it higher now ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, I'M COMING HOME EVERY MILE A PRAYER, EVERY STONE A SONG I LEFT MY NAME IN THE RED CLAY DUST BELOW AND I WON'T TURN BACK — ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, ROLL ON Mama said the road don't owe you nothing, boy It just runs long and takes what it destroys But the river keeps on singing what it knows And the south wind carries everything that goes The sun is bleeding through the pine I'm a little older, a little higher take it higher, take it higher now ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, I'M COMING HOME EVERY MILE A PRAYER, EVERY STONE A SONG I LEFT MY NAME IN THE RED CLAY DUST BELOW AND I WON'T TURN BACK — ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, ROLL ON There's a woman waiting where the highway ends With a porch light burning like it always did I've been gone so long I forgot the way But the road remembers what I couldn't say AND ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, I'M COMING HOME EVERY MILE A PRAYER, EVERY STONE A SONG I LEFT MY NAME IN THE RED CLAY DUST BELOW AND I WON'T TURN BACK — NO, I WON'T TURN BACK — ROLL ON, SOUTHERN SKY, ROLL ON roll on… southern sky…
