Black World - Jason Reeves

On your back in a boxcar train

With a jug of wine in the pouring rain

Northward bound, San Francisco Bay

Santa Barbara Line up through Monterrey

Under the Bixby Canyon Bridge

Ride like the wind into the night

Black as a ghost raven in flight

It won’t be long until you’re gone

Into the fog born from the sea

Out on the road lost in a dream

It won’t be long until you’re gone

Fly free

Up all night popping benzedrine

With a burning mind and 47 keys

You shook the world so indefinitely

With you brilliant, beautiful insanity

All of us are forever changed

Go ride like the wind into the night

Black as a ghost raven in flight

It won’t be long until you’re gone

Into the fog born from the sea

Out on the road lost in a dream

It won’t be long until you’re gone

Fly free

What is a lonely road

If it doesn’t lead you home?

Just into the unknown

On your back in a boxcar train

With a jug of wine in the pouring rain
