The Poet

[Bm]As I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
The desert sky she flys by for miles    [D]
[Bm]As I keep walkin’ people keep talkin’
About things they’ve never scene or done,       [D]
[Bm]Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
I myself just move on through town      [D]
[Bm]The moon keeps on shinin’
The rich keep on dinin’
Oh how i love the highway sun       [D]
[Em]Out to the back, the poe[G]t writes his songs in blood   [D]

[Bm]Coyotes are callin’
Stars keep on fallin’
Your mother she won’t be around    [D]
[Bm]A feather blows down the road
The wind is cold and your wings are broke
And your heart is livin’ on the run        [D]
[Bm]Lonely and wasted, her eyes replaced it
I don’t think I’ll make another mile       [D]
[Bm]From town to town I run
My horse ain’t to drunk
The daylight is singin to the sun       [D]
[Em]Out to the back, the poet wr[G]ites his songs in blood             [D]

[Bm]Juke box is barkin’
I’m just getting started
I’ve yet to see the light of day        [D]
[Bm]Senoritias lose it to the mariachi music
Cause new york is too far away     [D]
[Bm]The band keeps on playin’
With beer bottles breakin’
The barmaid I heard pulled a gun        [D]
[Bm]Poet takes a pistol, points at this sister
Says honey your day is done     [D]
[Em]Out to the back, the poet wr[G]ites his songs in blood             [D]
[Em]Out to the back, the poet wr[G]ites his songs in blood             [D]
