Lost River Blues

Looking for a living and looking to be giving that's all that I want
With a six string shootout
Knock 'em all dead
that's all that really counts.
I'm singing and swinging and looking out at this mess I'm in
They're paying and cheering and I'm leaving and fearing I won't make it home again.

(chorus) I'm looking across lost river since I got these worn out blues
These simple shoes they may seem new to you
I've been looking across lost river since I got these beat up blues
These simple shoes may seem new to you but to me they're old news.

Give me a dollar and I'll give you a holler when the dollar runs out
My tales will be taller with the rope around my collar you'll know nothing about
somehow you'll be tempted to be suddenly befriended by my open hand
and I'll be gone as soon as I see you with a dollar again.

(chorus)

I been a gypsy looking like a son of a gun with a story to tell
I've been a sculpture soul with them chipping away with every ticket I sell.
I've been trying to catch a tail that was in my hands when I was on the skids.
Now I'm looking back hearing echoes wondering what I did.

(chorus)

Looking for a living and looking to be giving that's all that I want
With a six string shootout
Knock 'em all dead
that's all that really counts.
