THE BEND

Well I'm waiting on the first snow
For winter’s coming back
The page I'll clear in the coming year
As I approach the railroad tracks

Well I stood on by for too long
Until it tore me down
And the pain I felt was tenfold
When you threw me to the ground

Now I board the train in Houston coming up to Maine
Anywhere that’s far from where you caused me all this pain
And as the train is rolling ‘round the bend
I can see the sun come out again

Well I can breath in clearly now
And take in all the breeze
The fog that covered up this town
Has fallen to its knees

And as I think and ponder of the
things that you have done
It gives me all the reason
To give up this life and run

Now I board the train in Camden
And I’m a-going to Kentucky
Running from the law out here, I guess I’m pretty lucky
And as the train is rolling round the bend
I can see the sun come out again

I was sleeping with the only leisure time I had to spend
And they caught up to me and told me that my journey had to end
Well but the Ohio was flowing right behind my feet
And I jumped right in to save myself from where I had to be

Now I’m flowing down the Ohio with a sheriff on my back
And I’m hopping on the next train that’s a-riding along the track
And as my body’s flowing round the bend
I can see the sun, oh

I can see the sun come out again
See the sun come out again
