His face is covered again
In all of the dust and all of the sweat
Rolls its way into his eyes
It does every time, he's not surprised
Home lost its meaning long ago
Heat from the road
Is the only warmth that he knows
But what he knows isn't enough
Is it too late to turn around?
Ride into the night
Or make another trip to town?
Waiting for him is a bed
A roof overhead
A place to repent
Brass on the handle is dull
The turn and the pull
Step through the
Lightning rains down from the sky
A new man it strikes
Free from his crimes
Sweat turned to tears turned to cries
A chance to survive
The gift of new life
Face on the ground
Smell of dirt again
Starts to catch his breath
Starts to feel its not the end
But the end is very real
And I don't have much time left to go
