Raw Chords Lyrics

Late at night alone on the dirty road
Humming tires that do not suit my soul
Nothing here but thieves and empty streets
Prostitues and beggars`
People who don't talk like me
Will I ever see my home again?
Will my children's faces start to fade?

I became obsessed with the darkened valley
Too much left to know for me to know
I could see below the winding river
I could not descend into its flow

I could walk alone and feel no fear
Feeling but not seeing things near
Seeing a bright morning without the light
Nothing worse than faking through a day
Driving until sunset, sweating on a stage
Sneering pearls of wisdom
From someone who could never play

Will I ever see my home again?
Will I only know the place I been?

I could come to know the weight I'm under
I could judge its substance by its form
I could never leave the road I travel
Never come to love another song
Just when I could trust myself to wander
I became contained within my soul

Ringing in my ears it never stops
But it's been so long that I would miss the sound
Amplifiers humming, electric vacuum roar
An echo that would shut the world away

I could see a sign in roack formations
I could see a glimmer in the trees
