music & lyrics: David Read

lyrics

Driven this road / A thousand times
Been given this load / A thousand times
Laid down my bet / A thousand times
Paid up my debt / A thousand times

And if you count it out in dollars
If you count it out in dimes
It’s still a thousand times
A thousand times

Spoken my part / A thousand times
Broken my heart / A thousand times
Laid down my head / A thousand times
Prayed for my dead / A thousand times

And if you count it out in crosses
If you count it out in crimes
It’s still a thousand times
A thousand times

The road runs away from here
Another mile, another year
I keep going on

A lot of things still on my mind
Some before and some behind
And none of it gone

Studied this sky / A thousand times
Bloodied my eye / A thousand times
Stayed in the ring / A thousand times
Played on this string / A thousand times

And if you count out in riddles
If you count it out in rhymes
It’s still a thousand times
A thousand times
