Transcendental Blues - Steve Earle

In the darkest hour of the longest night

If it was in my power Id step into the light

Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe

Walk upon the water transcendental blues

Happy ever after til the day you die

Careful what you ask for, you dont know til you try

Hands are in your pockets, starin at your shoes

Wishin you could stop it transcendental blues

If I had it my way, everything would change

Out here on this highway the rules are still the same

Back roads never carry you where you want em to They leave you standin there with them ol transcendental blues
