The Bend

Well I'm waiting on the first snow For winter's coming back The page I'll clear in the coming year As I approach the railroad tracks Well I stood on by for too long Until it tore me down And the pain I felt was tenfold When you threw me to the ground Now I board the train in Houston Coming up to Maine Anywhere that's far from where you caused me all this pain And as the train is rolling 'round the bend I can see the sun come out again Well I can breath in clearly now And take in all the breeze The fog that covered up this town Has fallen to its knees And as I think and ponder of the Things that you have done It gives me all the reason To give up this life and run Now I board the train in Camden And I'm a-going to Kentucky Running from the law out here, I guess I'm pretty lucky And as the train is rolling round the bend I can see the sun come out again I was sleeping with the only leisure time I had to spend And they caught up to me and told me that my journey had to end Well but the Ohio was flowing right behind my feet And I jumped right in to save myself from where I had to be Now I'm flowing down the Ohio with a sheriff on my back And I'm hopping on the next train that's a-riding along the track And as my body's flowing round the bend I can see the sun, oh I can see the sun come out again See the sun come out again
