elton john - jimmie rodgers' dream lyrics
i’m looking at a funeral wagon rolling down
a two-lane highway winding past a desert town
a big blue canvas painted by the master’s hand
the shifting clouds above and endless miles of sand
in that mirror maybe that’s what’s left of me
wheezing like a freight train hauling sixty tons of steel
air ’em out’s the best release and get some rest
carrie don’t wait up for me the brakeman’s going west
[chorus]
in this room all alone
i dream of you
in this drawer i found someone
i never knew
now i pop a top and stay up late with gideon
and fall asleep to visions of meridian
i’ve seen dusty beaten delta boys cutting heads
a black face carney showman scare a song to death
in my short life i’ve seen as much as most men need
now i’m just looking for some cleaner air to breathe
[repeat chorus]
far away, far away
so many years, so many days
all along this broken land
i’ve seen a lover’s empty arms
and hunger’s empty hand
[repeat chorus]
