Lyric Black Throated Wind

You re bringing me down, I m running aground,
Blind in the lights of the interstate cars,
Passing me by, the busses and the semis,
Plugging like stones from a slingshot from mars.

But I m here on the road, bound to the load,
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars.
Alone with the rush of the drivers that won t pick me up,
The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars.

Black throated wind, keeps on pourin in,
With it s words of a life where nothing is new,
Ah, mother American night, I pass from the light,
Ah, I m drownin in you.

I left St. Louie, city of blues,
In the midst of a storm I d rather forget.
I tried to pretend it came to an end,
Cause you weren t the women I once thought I d met.

But I can t deny, times have gone by,
Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret,
And I was a man when all this began,
Who wouldn t think twice about being there yet.

Black throated wind, whisper in sin,
And speaking on life that passes like dew.
It s forced me to see you ve done better by me,
Better by me that I ve done by you.

Now what s to be found by racing around,
you carry your pain wherever you go,
Full of blues, and tryin to lose,
You ain t gonna learn what you don t wanna know.

So I give you my eyes and all of their lies,
Please help them to learn as well as to see.
Capture a glance, and make it dance,
But looking at you is looking at me.

Black throated wind, keeps on pourin in,
With it s words of a life that could almost be true,
Ah, mother American night, here comes a light.
I m turning around, that s what I m gonna do.

Going back home that s what I m gonna do.
I m turning around, that s what I m gonna do.
Going back home that s what I m gonna do.
Cause you ve done better by me than I ve done by you,
I m drowning in you.
