lyrics

I seen you in the swerving headlights that passed the gun shop flag at half mast, as one of four beasts singing, Come and see, come and see! Come set down next to me. Black as the Midnight Special, bright as a hymnal’s page, sharp as a razor blade, truer than a dog’s heart, grim as a judge’s writ--you can see I’ve grown sick with it. Hadn’t I seen you both, Estilo Jalisco #2? That was years ago. High, wide and handsome, I thought I’d hung a neon light blinking wrong and right. A decade goes, and with it a hundred memories do. On the other hand, it’s true--the way it all was ended, it worked my head a while. Works the body, now. Peace like a river tends my way; sorrows like sea billows roll away; whatever my lot, taught to say--at least we’re well away. Seen her in the swerving headlights that passed the gun shop flag at half mast. She to some obscure future, as viewed from the parking lot. Same night that cop was shot. She’s leaving with her winnings--and we both know hearts can change--for the cold Reynosa rain. You hum a song, unthinking, of a restless girl bold as a baroque pearl. You’ll pen one anthem and your hero’s not a man--your hero’s some old train. Ain’t lost his heart and can’t find of it anyplace. Ain’t got a hero’s name.
