Buzzard's Meal

Verse 1

Sun is a hammer on the ridge

My shadow slipping off the stone

Every step is a question with no answer

And I've been walking all alone

Chorus

Let the buzzards have their fill

Pick the marrow from my bone

Let the feathers find my still

I'm just a stranger in this zone

Verse 2

Heat keeps peeling back my skin

I taste the dust inside my mouth

I keep leaving little pieces of me

Somewhere between the north and south

Chorus

Let the buzzards have their fill

Pick the marrow from my bone

Let the feathers find my still

I'm just a stranger in this zone

Bridge

They circle slow above my name

They wear the black of coming rain

And if they're hungry they can stay

I've got no more to give away

Chorus

Let the buzzards have their fill

Pick the marrow from my bone

Let the feathers find my still

I'm just a stranger in this zone
