Black Wind

Oh black wind
Tell me how this ends
Night won't fall on us again
Sweet cocaine
Drivin' rain
Whipped my bones and numbed my brain
Hide and seek
Wherever I am, I'm weak
I pray, I pray my soul to keep

Women and wine
They love me all the time
They call to me between the lines
Black wind, black wind
Won't take me home again
These hills and pines my only friend
Yeah whiskey and pills
No pain that they won't kill
My body warmed, my mind is still

Life out here is lonely
But it's all that I can do
I pay respect to those before me
They lived it through and through
That old black wind
Won't take me home again

A ghost of a man
Calmly stands
With two blue flames held in his hands
He asks me to choose
Between the two
But either choice, I know I'll rue
So I take quick to runnin'
Not knowing what it's from
I pray to God it's just a gun

Yeah life out here is lonely
But it's all that I can do
I pay respect to those before me
They lived it through and through
That old black wind
Won't take me home again

Oh black wind
Tell me how this ends
Night won't fall on us again
