True West Follow

Things that I did the ways I behaved
The women I loved the words that I said
Like a dream passing through
The causes I had and the corners I turned
The friends that I left and the bridges I burned
They were part of a pace a rhythm of life
That will no longer do

Hey man what about you
Something has happened to me has it happened to you
To my own heart I tried to be true
Hey man what about you

Winding my way through the turns and the bends
I have been waiting for life to begin
For something to do something to hold
That was bigger than I
Whatever I did it was never enough
Wherever I stood I was still out of touch
Like a man in the dark following sparks
Through an ebony sky

Like it or no I have come to this place
The past in my heart the wind in my face
And a son who was born on the eve of a war
Of reckless design
With my knees to the earth and my ear to the ground
What I thought was the truth was only a sound
Of a shot in th wind the beginning my friend
Of these desperate times

Things that I did the ways I behaved
The women I loved the words that I said
