Broken heads, broken bottles, broken bones
Ring them bells, ye heathen, from the city that dreams
Most of the time, I’m clear focused all around
I was thinking of a series of dreams
I went into the city, I went looking for dignity
God knows you ain’t pretty, God knows it’s true
Tryin’ to get to heaven before they close the door
I’m twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound
I used to care, but things have changed
You can always come back, but you can’t come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong, stayed in Mississippi a day too long
High water risin’, the shacks are slidin’ down
Heaven blazing in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream
Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’, through this weary world of woe
When I was in Missouri, they would not let me be
In the cities of lonesome fear, there’s a wandering, a wandering soul
