WATER IN THE GASOLINE

I REACH THE CROSSING WHERE THE RAILS MEET THE ROAD
THE LAW IN MY BACK IS CLOSING IN ON MY LOAD
DUST IS RISING PRESAGING A STORM
WITH FATE ON MY SIDE BY NIGHT I SHOULD BE GONE
I DIDN’T KILL THE MAN WITH THE MASK
HE FELL TO THE SPELL OF OLD CRAZY EYES
ALL I HEARD WAS THE BELL AS JONI LAY ON THE BED
I SLIPPED OUT INCOGNITO IN HOPES OF LEAVING THAT HELL
MY RIDE SPUTTERED AND PUFFED
THE KIDS IN THE ALLEY
MUST HAVE BEEN PLAYING ROUGH
AND PUT WATER IN THE GASOLINE
I BARELY MADE IT OUT

CACTUS REMUS IS POINTING TO THE WEST
WHILE COYOTE JACK IS MESSING WITH MY HEAD
ENGINE IN SIGHT, I SPIN MY WHEELS THROUGH THE GATE
I LOSE A REAR LIGHT BUT I MAKE IT ALL THE SAME
I DIDN’T KILL THE MAN WITH THE MASK
HE FELL TO THE SPELL OF OLD CRAZY EYES
I SPEND A SLEEPLESS NIGHT FIGHTING COPPERHEADS
AS LIGHTNING STREAKS THE SKY BY MORNING COMES THE RAIN
THE DRYBED TURNS TO A STREAM
I DRIFT AMID EMPTY OIL CANS
BUT SOON ALL WILL BE DRYING
EXCEPT FOR WATER IN THE GASOLINE
I BARELY MAKE IT OUT

I GET INSIDE MY WHEELS MAKE IT TO THE ROAD
THE POSSE BLOWN TO THE WIND ACROSS THE DESERT FLOOR
AS TUMBLEWEED ROLLS BY SPIRITS TAKE TO THE FORM
A MILLION SCATTERED THOUGHTS RACE THROUGH TIME’S CORRIDOR
I DID NOT KILL THE MAN WITH THE MASK
HE FELL TO THE SPELL OF OLD CRAZY EYES
I LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND THE DREAMS AND THE NIGHTMARES
LOVE WILL FIND A PATH AMID THE TORRID AFFAIRS
I LOOK INTO THE SUN
FOR EMPTY PROMISES
NOTHING COMES OF IT
BUT THERE’S STILL WATER IN THE GASOLINE
I HOPE I MAKE IT OUT
