Select language to translate this lyric
Wiser when I break and fall
Clearer than my true love's call
Faster than the whispering winds
Back on the road again
Tell me can you hear that train
Low and fast come through the plain
Mountain bound she shifts and goes
Where it's gone I'll never know
Take the first shift, I'll just ride
Down the weary mountainside
A city every now and then
Mostly just the lonesome wind
Far from where it was I came
Find me anew face and name
Too quick how the time has passed
Now we're home again at last
Pull the blankets over my head
And rest in my lover's bed
Take the first shift, I'll just ride
Cross the dreary mountainside
Are the arrangements made
Has the bar tab been paid
Let's not mince words here
Coulda used good news at first light
Skies are blue but light will fade
Seems as if you're mind is made
Come and settle up with me
But don't take it personally
These days I am barely here
A motor's hum is all I hear
Think of me when time affords
And ride on down the road some more
Take the first shift, I'll just ride
Ride across the borderline
