Go It Alone

I'm comin over

See me down at the station by the lane

with my hands in my pocket

Jingling a wish coin

That I stole from a fountain

that was drowning all the cares in the world

When I get older

Climbin up on the back porch fence

just to see the dogs runnin

With a ring and a question

And my shiverin voice is singing

through a crack in the window



I better go it alone



Down on the corner

See me standin

on a makeshift road

With the dust storm

Blowin in a long black shadow

Pull a hammer from a coal mine

down where your daddy was workin

Comb my hair back

Strike a match on a bathroom wall

where my number was written

Drivin on the sidewalk

Lookin back and the sky is burning

in my rearview mirror



I better go it alone
