"Bury Me" lyrics

"Bury Me"

Bury me where the wind don't blow
Where the dust won't cover me
Where the tall grass grows
Or bury me right where I fall
Tokyo to Tennessee
I loved them all

See the windmills turn up 55
Still got so much to learn
Still feel alive
One lonely girl is all I need
To tie me to this world
Make me believe

I ain't no cowboy but I can ride
I ain't no outlaw but I've been inside
There were bars of steel boys and there were bars to sing
There were bars with swinging doors
For all the time between

Bury me in the last few lines
Of an obituary for these trying times
Find an old live oak to carve my name
Hard liquor and dirty jokes
Cheap picture frames

Well I ain't no cowboy but I can ride
I ain't no outlaw but I've been inside
There were men of stone, boys and there were men of sand
Long nights alone boys
Head in my hands

I ain't no cowboy but I can ride
I ain't no outlaw but I've been inside
There were bars of steel boys and there were bars to sing
There were bars with swinging doors for all the time between

There were bars with swinging doors for all the time between
