DUSTY MILES

ECHO BLUE

Echo Blue
I dream of you
I run right into you
Echo Blue

I run right into you
Echo Blue

Now and then, I think of you
And my heart calls out your name
Do you feel the same?

My heart calls out your name
Feel the same
I’d run right into you
Echo Blue

Run right into you
Echo Blue

WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE RIVER

She said take me down where the road meets the river
This one horse town got me feeling like a prisoner on full lock down
And I wanna tunnel my way out

She said when school is out would you take me to the river?
And park way down where the drivers cannot see us
Turn the headlights out
I got some things I need to say aloud

She would light one up and burn it down
And run her mouth ’bout the boys in town
And how they’d push her around

We could burn our bridges, cut all ties
Stiff middle fingers for a last goodbyes
Would you take me now?

She said take me down where the road meets the river
My hearts’ torn out and I’m full of piss and vinegar
She’s on the ledge now
And needs a friend to talk her down

She said take me down where the road meets the river
But my cars’ broke down it’s the slave or master cylinder
So she clears on out
There ain’t no stopping her now

And she was running on empty and hotter then hell
And her heads’ gonna crack if they keep on driving her into the ground

We used to talk about climbing those walls and just taking flight
In a hail of bullets just like Bonnie and Clyde
Would you take me now?

When word got out that she had gone missing
I took a walk on out where she’d talk and I’d listen
And all I found
Were the cigarettes she burned down

On unsteady ground where the road meets the river
My heart pours out to her troubled disposition
And I took a look around
But she was nowhere

And as time goes by I still think about
If my wheels had of run could I have turned her around
And put her fire out?

There’s a young man out there that I used to know
And he’s still hoping that she found a way out on to the open road

She said take me down where the road meets the river
This one horse town got me feeling like a prisoner

WAR SONG

Light is darkest ‘fore the dawn
Sea is calmest ‘fore the storm
My will is strong my aim is true
And in my sights the likes of you

Our enemy stands upon the hill
Wapping death ‘pon our bunkers brim
If I shall not return
Send a death letter to my love

Lord guide my hand and aim it true
And may his aim be straighter still
For shall he fail I will return
A shot that killed ten thousand sons

When my dying breath has drawn
When flesh and blood are torn and thrown
We were nothing more then fuel to fire
And as we burn our spirts rise

BORN TO LOSE

Got no friend in this town
Got no confidant to confess my blues
Got no right to gamble here
Got no right to it lay down, risk it all on you

I’m on a losing streak
Thats brought me to me knees
And now I’m begging you

But want can I do when I’ve fallen for you
I can’t take it back when my intentions are true
Driven to drink my life down the sink
Cause I can see in your eyes you don’t feel like I think

Ohh Born to lose

I got no way to get around
Got no ride to take you on over the hill
I got no aspirations
Got no inclination on why I do what I do

I never hit my peak
Out on a losing streak
And now I’m begging you

But want can I do when I’ve fallen for you
I can’t take it back when my intentions are true
Driven to drink, my life down the sink
Cause I can see in your eyes you don’t feel like I think

Oh born to lose
Mmm born to lose
What can I do
Mmm born to lose

LEAD ME HOME

She said I’m going on up ahead but I’ll see you real soon
From her hospital bed in a white painted room

I was holding her hand when she let go of hope
A soul by a thread from an old tethered rope

Now life here on earth well it just ain’t the same
Since you ran on off headed into the flames

I searched all the stars to find yours in the west
And I dream every night about meeting you there

And your star will glow
Leading me home

Well I talk to ol’ death and he gives me some hope
I may see you again at the end of my road

A wreak in the dark around this bend or next
And I’ll go up in flames and see you on up ahead

And your will star glow
Leading me home

Your star will glow
Leading me home
