Limp Along the Long Road

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I walked the dry wash with a limp and a rumor

Sunday paper said the water was fine

Somebody's cousin knew a man in the capitol

Who swore the dust was a state of mind

Pre-Chorus

So I asked the wind

And the wind said nothing

I asked the sky

And the sky kept humming

Chorus

Limp along the long road

Limp along with me

Every crooked story bends the company

Limp along the long road

Limp until it's true

Somebody's proclamation coming down on you

Verse 2

My neighbor bought a flag and a brand new fever

Sold his garden for a talking head

Now he limps past my gate every single evening

Carrying a pamphlet he can't read

Pre-Chorus

So I asked the rain

And the rain said later

I asked the ground

And the ground said maybe

Chorus

Limp along the long road

Limp along with me

Every crooked story bends the company

Limp along the long road

Limp until it's true

Somebody's proclamation coming down on you

Bridge

Tell me slow

Tell me twice

Tell me once more what to despise

Tell me loud

Tell me plain

Then tell me who's supposed to gain

Instrumental Break

Chorus

Limp along the long road

Limp along with me

Every crooked story bends the company

Limp along the long road

Limp until it's true

Somebody's proclamation coming down on you
