No Way Out but Down - Graham Lindsey

Right as rain red as rust

Brick by brick I turn to dust

No I never had a name that you could trust

Of all the deeds I’ve ever done

I am not proud of a single one

So let me rot beneath the burning sun

I’m on my way I’m on my way

My shack burnt down and my cows are gone

And this old mountain is all I’ve got

Well I never had a prayer anyhow

I’ve gone to the well but the well was dry

And I tried to cross the river but the water was high

Now I lay me down on the railroad ties

There’s no way out but down

I’ve got a dream that never ends

The world goes black and cold and dim

And I can’t wake up until it’s light again

I’m on my way I’m on my way

There’s nothing left of me to save

So I’m going back from where I came

I’m on my way I’m on my way
