rail yard ghosts - highway or the hangman part 1 lyrics

[verse 1]
from five kingdoms fled the restless kind
in search of a sovereign peace of mind
fluid synchronicity
nomad’s call no man king
nomad’s call no man king

[verse 2]
no stone wall could ever build a home
once a roving seed had been sown
migratory transience
family transcends flesh and bone
family transcends flesh and bone

[chorus 1]
home is where we rest our heads
sometimes
our home is a riverbed
home is where we rest our bones
tonight
our home is a freight train rollin’ on

[verse 3]
donal was a boy with a window to thе world
he’d watch all the market pеople come and go
push their carts to hock their wares
and forlornly on he’d stare
‘neath the castle to the sky they push their sorrow
then one day he came of age
built his days to do the same
but at night he’d sit and pray into the fire
sayin’ “if i don’t leave this town, i’ll burn that castle to the ground
it’s the highway or the hangman’s road for me.”
it’s the highway or the hangman’s road for me

[chorus 2]
and n0body knows who was the first to go
there’s always been the traveler long before there was a road
though you’ll die 1,000 times
and leave everything behind
we’ll be waiting for you just outside

[verse 4]
carol anne was the daughter of an old preacher man
he’d say “you’re born in sin but you’ll be saved.”
to the farmers in town he’d preach his word of god
but she found love in the farmers daughters arms

well the day came to pass
they were found out at last
and the preacher he had murder in his eyes
but they held each+other tight
and together they did cry
it’s the highway or the hangman’s road for me
it’s the highway or the hangman’s road for me
[chorus 2]
and n0body knows who was the first to go
there’s always been the traveler long before there was a road
though you’ll die 1,000 times
and leave everything behind
we’ll be waiting for you just outside

[chorus 1]
home is where we rest our heads
sometimes
our home is a riverbed
home is where we rest our bones
tonight
our home is a freight train rollin’ on

[skit]
oh sh+t guys, the train stopped
(chatter)
yo, let’s yet off before it starts going
(unreadable)
yeah
thanks
y’got the book?
yeah i got it, it’s right here
okay
(more small talk that’s not too important)
