One Drop In The Bottle

(专辑： New Freedom Blues - 2018)

Born on the night of the distant rain
Badland blood running through my vein
Left my home, left my name
Unkempt and unknown

Took on with a driver outta Broken Leaf
He was a quarter Cheyenne and a quarter thief
Left me out in the dust and the ragged weed
For dead and alone

Don't that sun move so slow?
Don't that sky stretch wide?
One drop in the bottle is enough to get you through
Where will you be when it runs dry?

Stared out west toward the Great Divide
Couldn't cross over, though I surely tried
I awoke with nothing but dark inside
And I set out on my way

Shot down a gambling man up on Mission Hill
For twenty-three dollars and a couple pills
Didn't need the money, just needed the thrill
Lord, I laid him away

Don't that sun move so slow?
Don't that sky stretch wide?
One drop in the bottle is enough to get you through
Where will you be when it runs dry?

Lost my soul to the desert ground
Maybe you can lose what you never found
Great Northern wind covered up all sound
Left the silence for the song
Left the silence for the song

Don't that sun move so slow?
Don't that sky stretch wide?
One drop in the bottle is enough to get you through
Where will you be when it runs dry?
