Valley Of The Stones - Black Star Riders

I’m a beast of burden

Spent too long at the fair

You can lead a horse to water

But I ain’t going there

I ain’t going anywhere

The sky don’t look the same

I ain’t going anyplace

Where they try you by your name

Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall

God’s country been condemned

All that glitters has been sold

To buy the living end

I’m spending days alone

Trying to cross the road of bones

Spending too much time on freeways

Through the valley of the stones

I know that you’ve been dreaming

So dream on this awhile

Whatever makes a lover sad

Will make a hater smile

The dice are always loaded

High rollers alway win

I’m tired of cleaning up the mess

You left me standing in

Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall

God’s country been condemned

All that glitters has been sold

To buy the living end

I’m spending days alone

Trying to cross the road of bones

Spending too much time on freeways

Through the valley of the stones

Don’t watch the hand that’s moving

Cuz it isn’t on the gun

Don’t leave a shadow on the floor

Stand sideways in the sun

Ride cut whith the king’s horse

Raise hell with the king’s men

Take flight with everything you own

To the land of vice and zen

I’m spending days alone

Trying to cross the road of bones

Spending too much time on freeways

Through the valley of the stones
