Saddle In The Rain

I wish, i hope, i wonder

Where you're at sometimes

Is your back against the wall?

Or just across the line

Have you been standing in the rain

Reciting nursery rhymes?

Trying to recall

Some long lost kind of peace of mind

Peace of mind

Try spending the night sometime

All alone in a frozen room

Afterneath you've lain

Your saddle in the rain



I dreamed they locked god up

Down in my basement

And he waited there for me

To have this accident

So he could drink my wine

And eat me like a sacrament

And i just stood there like i do

Then i came and went

I came and went

Like a bird in a foreign sky

Couldn't even say good bye

Or come and share the pain

My saddle's in the rain



I saw a friend who doesn't know

If i'm his friend just yet

His eyes and mouth were widely open

And his jaw was set

Like he'd fell off a cliff

And hadn't hit the bottom yet

I wish he wouldn't pull those things on me

Without a net

Without a net

I had him up to the house one time

And we was having a real good time

Then he went and lain

His saddle in the rain



In a laundromat not too far

From the alamo

Sits a girl who stole my records

Very long ago

And she wishes, wants and washes

Out those dirty clothes

As she shuts her eyes and dreams

About her one eyed joe

One eyed joe

Car parked on a dirty road

Heaven knows the load she pulled

Couldn't take the strain

A saddle in the rain
