Saddle In The Rain

I wish, I hope, I wonder, where you're at sometimes Is your back against the wall or just across the line? Have you been standing in the rain reciting nursery rhymes? Trying to recall some long lost kind of peace of mind Peace of mind Try spending the night sometime All alone in a frozen room After neath you've lain Your saddle in the rain I dreamed they locked god up down in my basement And he waited there for me to have this accident So he could drink my wine and eat me like a Sacrament And I just stood there like I do then I came and went I came and went Like a bird in a foreign sky Couldn't even say goodbye Or come and share the pain My saddle's in the rain I saw a friend who doesn't know if I'm his friend just yet His eyes and mouth were widely open and his jaw was set Like he'd fell off a cliff and hadn't hit the bottom yet I wish he wouldn't pull those things on me without a net Without a net I had him up to the house one time And we was having a real good time Then he went and lain His saddle in the rain In a laundromat not too far from the Alamo Sits a girl who stole my records very long ago And she wishes, wants and washes out those dirty clothes As she shuts her eyes and dreams about her one eyed Joe One eyed Joe Car parked on a dirty road Heaven knows the load she pulled Couldn't take the strain A saddle in the rain
