• Highway or the Hangman pt 1

From five kingdoms fled the restless kind, in search of a sovereign peace of mind, fluid synchronicity, nomad’s call no man king, nomad’s call no man king

No stone wall could ever build a home, after a roving seed be sown, migratory transience, family don’t always mean flesh and bone, family transcends flesh and bone


Chorus:
Home is where we rest our heads, Sometimes our home’s a riverbed, Home is where we rest our bones, Tonight our home is a freight train rollin’ on


Donal was a boy with a window to the world, he’d watch all the market people come and go, push their carts to hock their wares, forlornly on he’d stare, ‘neath the castle to the sky they push their sorrow

Then one day he came of age, built his days to do the same, but at night he’d sit and pray into the fire, he’d say if I don’t leave this town I’ll burn that castle to the ground, it’s the highway or the hangman’s road for me, it’s the highway or the hangman’s rope for me


Chorus:
Nobody knows who was the first to go, there’s always been a traveler long before there was a road, though we’ll die 1,000 times and leave everything behind, we’ll be waiting for you just outside


Carol Anne was the daughter of an old preacher man, he’d say you’re born in sin but you’ll be saved, to all the farmers in town he’d preach his word of god, but she found love in the farmers daughters arms

Well the day came to pass, they were found out at last, and the preacher he had murder in his eyes, but they held each other tight and together they did cry, it’s the highway or the hangman’s rope for me, it’s the highway or the hangman’s rope for me

Chorus:
Nobody knows who was the first to go, there’s always been a traveler long before there was a road, though we’ll die 1,000 times and leave everything behind, we’ll be waiting for you just outside
Home is where we rest our heads, Sometimes our home’s a riverbed, Home is where we rest our bones, Tonight our home is a freight train rollin’ on
