STAR LIGHT SHINE

I CAN’T CATCH MY BREATH
ON THIS MIDNIGHT TRAIN
I RIDE WITH DEATH
AND HE KNOWS MY NAME

HE GOT ABOARD BACK THEN
AT A WHISTLE STOP
HE KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN
I’M BOUND TO DROP

OUT IN THE DESERT AIR
WHERE A STAR LIGHT SHINE
FILLS A COAL BLACK NIGHT
THAT’S ALL MINE

I KEEP THE HOUNDS AT BAY
AND MY DISTANCE CLEAR
I’D RUN THE HELL AWAY
‘TIL I’M OUTA HERE

BUT I’VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
IN A DESPERATE WAY
AND IT KILLS THE PAIN
OF ANOTHER DAY

OUT IN THE DESERT AIR
WHERE A STAR LIGHT SHINE
FILLS A COAL BLACK NIGHT
THAT’S ALL MINE

NOTHIN’ HERE GOES DOWN
THAT DON’T BLEED OR SCREAM
SINKIN’ DEEPER NOW
INTO A DEAD MAN’S DREAMI SURRENDER TO
EVERY DEBT THAT’S DUE
A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
FOR THE TIMES I KNEW
