Transcendental Blues

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 'til the day you die

Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til 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

Leave you standing there with them old transcendental blues, hey
