Mile 20 south and hard white gravel under wheel
Left my lowdown back at home but brought my blues along
To the graveyard of white lilies where it all starts getting real
And shapes the ragged truth that forms the skeleton of this song

How does a wayward soul come back home to his town
When will my mind allow that worthless voice to speak
I could climb back in the car, and just turn this trip around
Or pull the silence over to go wash it in the creek

Big lonesome sky just shook us down
Lay requiems ain't done by her
And we are lost and won't be found
If angels ain't, they never were

Mile 20 south and two red tractors plow the fields
Will I really keep that promise to break or break it down
Sometimes the shit you've done precedes you like a shield
Sometimes the good you did gets buried where it's found

Where does a soul go next and is there such a place
With a million wayward paths but one for me to take
In the telling of my life, just read the story on my face
I'll tell you where I've been and of every place I ached

Big lonesome sky just shook us down
Lay requiems ain't done by her
And we are lost and won't be found
If angels ain't they never were

Mile 20 south and in that sunset before the ink
Speak these washed out colors, words of every shade
Stands this washed out spirit who feels before he thinks
And names that light eternal before those colors fade
