Well I sure take it with me wherever I go And you might like to see it but it never does show Like a wind in the valley that never does blow Like the grass in the back you never did mow
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge It's everything you do and nothin' that you did
Well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town And you might see me shinin' when the rain's comin' down Like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone hound
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge It's everything you do and nothin' that you did
Well the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove And the cows keep goin' where they done been drove And a light keeps glowin' in a dead man's cove And a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave getsa wove
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge It's everything you do and nothin' that you did
