about

(in loving memory of Stef Stepp)

lyrics

mercy mercy, bless my hide
one more cowboy's gone and died
hail of bullets, trophy kill
buried on lonesome legend's hill
when i make my final shout
and my daylight's all run out
i want a place i can feel the light
and sleep by the sound of the road at night

highway music, southbound train
nothing grows on a roadside grave
no more heartache, no more pain
nothing grows on a roadside grave

i met a man in a county cell
drank his life right down the well
poured out grief on the one he loved
choked on rye and the taste of mud
when he had no more to say
i guess he passed away
but i've none some when they've been bled
ain't got the sense to fall down dead

highway music, southbound train
nothing grows on a roadside grave
no more heartache, no more pain
nothing grows on a roadside grave

feet on fire and a worried mind
long for things i left behind
reckless words i can't control
restless curse of a traveling soul
on the day i jump the wall
dig a hole right where i fall
i'll see heaven if i get saved
and rest my bones in a roadside grave

highway music, southbound train
nothing grows on a roadside grave
no more heartache, no more pain
nothing grows on a roadside grave
