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
