From the recording Highway Scenes
Lyrics
Right now I am nothing
And that's just what I want to be
I’m tired of being your servant
I won’t run at your beckoning
So I walk a lonesome highway
I sleep beneath the big oak tree
In my dream I saw a cowboy
Sitting by a saloon door
One leg propped up, his head upon it
His resolve was sinking low
He wore a noose just like a necktie
No place in this world no more
And then I came upon a manor
Perches high up on the hill
In the day it sat so stately
And everything was calm and still
That night it shook like God's own fury
And raged a fiery burning hell
And I just watched it burn
So in the morning I’m a wake up
And then I’d best be on my way
I'm too unfettered to sit idle
Plus I don’t have a place to stay
So I walk the lonesome highway
Let it lead me where it may
