Bringing me down, I'm aground Blind in the light of the interstate me by, the buses and semis Plunging stones from a slingshot on Mars
But I'm here by the road, bound to the I picked up in ten cafes and bars Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't me up The highway, the moon, the and the stars
The black-throated wind keeps on in With its words of a life nothing is new Ah, Mother American Night, I'm lost the light Ohh, I'm in you
I left St. Louis, City of In the midst of a I'd rather forget I tried to it came to an end you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met
But I can't deny, oh, times have by I had doubts or thoughts of regret And I was a man when all this Who wouldn't think twice about being yet
Black-throated wind, in sin Is speaking of that passes like dew me to see you've done better by me Better by me I've done by you
Now what's to be found, racing You carry pain wherever you go Oh, full of the blues to lose You ain't learn what you don't want to know
I give you my eyes, all of lies Please help them to as well as to see That capture a glance, oh, and a dance Of looking at you, at me
The wind keeps on pouring in With its words of a lie that could almost be Ah, Mother American Night, comes the light Goin' around, that's I'm gonna do
Goin' back home what I'm gonna do Turnin' around, that's what I'm do Goin' home that's what I'm, I'm gonna do You've done better by me than I've by you
Ohh, I'm in you Ohh, I'm in you I'm goin' back home what I'm gonna do Well, I'm goin' in you
