Dust and Hollow Bones

(hummmm) Woke to the screen door talking in the wind

Dust on the table,

same old coffee tin

Sun hit the sink like a hard-earned dime I been carrying yesterday

a long, long time

I keep rolling, slow fire in my chest

One more mile and I can call it rest

If the

road won't love me,

I'll still ride along

With a cracked-up

heart and a working song My brother said the hard way leaves

a mark

Truth is a lantern when the house goes dark

I learned to listen when the night sits still To the boards

and the glass and the far-off hill

Ain't looking for mercy

Ain't asking why

Just a little peace Before the morning light

I keep rolling, slow fire in my chest One more mile and

I can call it rest If

the road won't love me,

I'll still ride along

With a cracked-up heart and a working song

Keep on, keep on

Working song
