Elton John, Leon Russell - Jimmie Rodgers' Dream lyrics

I'm looking at a funeral wagon rolling down
A two lane highway winding past a desert town
A big blue canvas painted
By the Master's hand
The shifting clouds above and
Endless miles of sand
In that mirror maybe that's what's left of me
Wheezing like a freight train hauling
Sixty tons of steel
Air them out's the best release
And get some rest
Carrie don't wait up for me
The brakeman's going West

In this room all alone i dream of you
In this drawer I found someone i never knew

Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
I've seen dusty beaten delta
Boys cutting heads
A black face carney showman scare
A song to death
In my short life I've seen as
Much as most men need
Now I'm just looking for some
Cleaner air to breathe

In this room all alone i dream of you
In this drawer I found someone i never knew
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian

Far away, far away
So many years, so many days
All along this broken land
I've seen a lover's empty arms
And hunger's empty hand

In this room all alone i dream of you
In this drawer I found someone i never knew
