jerry leger - canvas of gold lyrics

[verse 1]
everything was almost decided when we were young
you’ll stay poor like your family before, and i’ll keep hustling
on the backroads, and in the cities, i sang for me
and we always knew like the driver to the screw
what was meant to be

[chorus]
and my head was in the drift smoke
my heart was in the words
of the poet and the hobo that you never heard
lost time in an ashtray and misery in a fold
’cause somewhere in the distance was a canvas of gold

[verse 2]
grabbed ideas looking out the window of a driving mind
a two+lane frame, up and down again for a dream i can’t deny
and when we got caught in the silence, we made amends
the wind blew your name to the lock on the chain
and my dead thoughts walked again
[chorus]
but my head was in the drift smoke
my heart was in the words
of the poet and the hobo that you never heard
lost time in an ashtray and misery in a fold
’cause somewhere in the distance was a canvas of gold

[verse 3]
train chuggin’ to health and glory on the poverty line
it galloped off the track, pushed down the grass
crushed the crossing sign
and when night fell, we read a chapter
from every book we wrote
and i’ll say it to you what lies in the truth
with the bread we never broke

[chorus]
but my head was in the drift smoke
my heart was in the words
of the poet and the hobo that you never heard
lost time in an ashtray and misery in a fold
’cause somewhere in the distance was a canvas of gold
