Shadowland — Steve Earle

Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows There's a place there lonely fools can go Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland

Chorus

Down the highway, down the road I'm bound And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round And it's a hard place for a mortal man And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own My right hand was thunder and my left was stone Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then So I'm takin' my chances in the shadowland

Chorus

Been down a thousand highways and they're all the same Another empty place where I can hide my shame And there's a heartache waitin' up around the bend For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland

Chorus
