Dirt Road Blues Lyrics
Gon' walk down that dirt road, 'til someone lets me ride
Gon' walk down that dirt road, 'til someone lets me ride
If I can't find my baby, I'm gonna run away and hide
I been pacing around the room hoping maybe she'd come back
Pacing 'round the room hoping maybe she'd come back
Well, I been praying for salvation laying 'round in a one room country shack
Gon' walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed
Gon' walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see, 'til the chains have been shattered and I've been freed
I been lookin' at my shadow, I been watching the colors up above
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
Gon' walk down that dirt road, 'til someone lets me ride
If I can't find my baby, I'm gonna run away and hide
Pacing 'round the room hoping maybe she'd come back
Well, I been praying for salvation laying 'round in a one room country shack
Gon' walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see, 'til the chains have been shattered and I've been freed
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
It's odd how a reversion to the style of his very first record can be so refreshing.
This is when you have a perfect love, then lose it, you just lose yourself, run yourself to the ground (dirt road), and everything else that follows. The last lyrics should be til everything remains the same, changes the meaning entirely! He wants to become indifferent, because feeling everything in his level, it hurts too much.
