Townes walks tall, shifts then stalls
thoughts whippin in the wind
licks his lips
parched with thirst
and speaks aloud again:
"I've heard life comes around
like a long lost friend.
"I've heard life reads black and white
like newspaper print.
"I've heard you must get lost and found again
like a bottle at sea.
"I've heard you must cling to Calvary.
"Out of all these things, none ring true to me.
"So hand me down my whiskey and a guitar, its the finest gun I've found.
"I'm off to ramble in the streets and when I find the Truth, I'll gun'em down."
