Tommy Brown - The Treblo Road

Verse 1

Rail car rattles on a rusty line

Counting every crosstie I find behind

Sun sits low on a crimson hill

Drinking my fill of the morning chill

I am wandering south through the cedar brake

Avoiding the wake that the sinners make

Pre-Chorus

No compass needle spinning

No games I'm busy winning

Just a soul worth mending

On a track unending

Chorus

Oh the Treblo road is long

Hear the spirit in a song

Rolling heavy like a stone

To a place I've never known

Steady rhythm in the rain

Treblo road takes all the pain

Verse 2

Pocket watch clicking in a dusty vest

Giving my weary old heart a rest

Sky turns grey like a lonesome smoke

Carrying a yoke until the spirit broke

Watering the seeds of a humble harvest

Feeling the farthest from the very smartest

Pre-Chorus

No coin for my pocket

No key for the lock it

Just a path I'm taking

With a life I'm making

Chorus

Oh the Treblo road is long

Hear the spirit in a song

Rolling heavy like a stone

To a place I've never known

Steady rhythm in the rain

Treblo road takes all the pain

Bridge

Maybe I wander

Maybe I wonder

Maybe I go

Down where the wild grass starts to grow

The high wind is calling me low

Chorus

Oh the Treblo road is long

Hear the spirit in a song

Rolling heavy like a stone

To a place I've never known

Steady rhythm in the rain

Treblo road takes all the pain
