I was raised in a two horse down
spent a lotta years just puttin' in down
when I grew up headed out on my own
now I'm growin' older and I'm so alone
now I'm rollin' down old sixty-six
I'm a tumble weed blowin'
I'm the dust in the wind
never plan on slowin' down
never gonna turn around
wherever this road ends
another one begins
I been workin' in the city and collectin' my pay
just a rat race runner just a slavin' away
now that two horse town sounds awfully good
where the green grass grows
in the meadow by the woods
now I'm rollin' down old sixty-six
I'm a tumble weed blowin'
I'm the dust in the wind
never plan on slowin' down
never gonna turn around
wherever this road ends
another one begins
now I got me a woman and she treats me well
she got diamonds in her eyes
and her voice rings like a bell
she's a tulip pickin' mama
she's my blue-eyed bride
we're gonna build us a home
out in the countryside
now I'm rollin' down old sixty-six
I'm a tumble weed blowin'
I'm the dust in the wind
never plan on slowin' down
never gonna turn around
wherever this road ends
another one begins

step outside tonight
feel the frigid air fill up your lungs
it stings your throat like that first cigarette
heart grows cold, body going numb
see the vapors fly
hot breath crystallized
the flame inside you flickers out
for what feels like the last time
but she's waiting there for you
to show up with some kindling
she'll get your tinder burning
with the spark that you been yearning
flames flicker and dance
your stony heart begins to thaw
her love's a blazing fiery trance
consuming all that's been withdrawn
and she's waiting there for you
to show up with some kindling
she'll get your tinder burning
with the spark that you been yearning

get outta bed when the day's half spent
daddy's gotta get his ass in gear
life in the factory, rinse & repeat
work the graveyard shift for another year
now eleven months gone by
unemployment checks are running dry
economy's slow, commodities down
we'll call you back when things turn around
and all us hard workin' folks who went out that door
we're just tryin' to keep our families fed
we're just tryin' to keep a roof over our heads
doin' everything we can to get a little bit ahead
well the world can be a cold hard place
yeah, nothin' in this world is free
sometimes it seems life will set you up just to kick you down again
but a man's gotta get back on his feet
and all us hard workin' folks who went out that door
we're just tryin' to keep our families fed
we're just tryin' to keep a roof over our heads
doin' everything we can to get a little bit ahead
