Jed Stone

Born to the road, fire under his skin
They’d say slow down Jed it’s time to settle in
The heroes were gone and the whiskey wore thin
Jed killed a man and he never came home again
And he’d say, everyday the river grows higher
I can feel the wind blow harder
And each night the fire burns stronger
But the night will always know that I’m just another soul
The people looked on as the devil snuck through
They saw some things a man could never do
And Jed was sworn to a hillside angel
He’d said he’d kill the man who made him let her go
He’d say, everyday the river grows higher
I can feel the wind blow harder
And each night the fire burns stronger
But the night will always know that I’m just another soul
Come on Jed Stone you can rest your sad bones
Down by the riverside
And when you are afraid just close your eyes and drift away
I’ll be waiting just the same, just the same
Born to the road, nowhere left to begin
Just a drifter’s eyes in the face of a southern wind
And he’d say, everyday the river grows higher
I can feel the wind blow harder
And each night the fire burns stronger
But the night will always know that I’m just another soul
Come on Jed Stone you can rest your sad bones
Down by the riverside
And when you are afraid just close your eyes and drift away
I’ll be waiting just the same, just the same
