Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues lyrics
[Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues lyrics]
In the darkest hour of the longest night
If it was in my power
I'd step into the light
Candles on the altar, penny in your shoe
Walk upon the water, transcendental blues
Happy ever after until the day you die
Careful what you ask for
You don't know till you try
Hands are in your pockets
Staring at your shoes
Wishing you could stop it
Transcendental blues
If I had it my way, everything would change
Out here on this highway
The rules are still the same
Back roads never carry you where
You want 'em to
They leave you standing there with
Them old transcendental blues
If it was in my power
I'd step into the light
Candles on the altar, penny in your shoe
Walk upon the water, transcendental blues
Happy ever after until the day you die
Careful what you ask for
You don't know till you try
Hands are in your pockets
Staring at your shoes
Wishing you could stop it
Transcendental blues
If I had it my way, everything would change
Out here on this highway
The rules are still the same
Back roads never carry you where
You want 'em to
They leave you standing there with
Them old transcendental blues
