[Verse 1] Youve long been on the open road, youve been sleeping in the rain From the dirty words to muddy cells, your clothes are dark and stained But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane So only stop and rest yourself and youll be off again [Verse 2] I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trail From dancing cliffs and shattered sills to slandershackled jails But the melodies drift from below as the walls are being scaled Yes, and all of this and more my friend, our song shall not be failed [Chorus] So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just looking for the evening and the morning in your eyes [Verse 3] Then tell me of the ones you see, as far as you could see Across the plains from field to town, marching to be free And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree Like laughing children one by one, they look like you and me [Chorus] So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just looking for the evening and the morning in your eyesYou might also like
