Walkin' Through The Desert (with a Crow)

it was sunday mornin and I found myself alone

walkin through the desert with a crow

I took me a shovel and I dug myself a hole

walkin through the desert with a crow

at times I thought that I would die

but I left those days somewhere behind

there's only so much a man can take

before he knows

he knows he's gonna break

cuz a man's gotta take what he can take

when he's got one foot down in the grave

you never know where the road is gonna end

sometimes I think this bird

this bird's my only friend

chorus:

walkin through the desert with a crow

I murdered my past life and I covered up its bones

walkin through the desert with a crow

I gathered my possessions and I took out on the road

walkin through the desert with a crow

there's been nights I drank myself to sleep

I lay my head on nails with bottles at my feet

when I awoke I thought I was free

but there he'd be

that bird that follows me

a man ain't meant to be alone

with demons scratching at his soul

if I had wings I'd probably fly

if I had tears I know

I'd probably cry
