Lyrics
Guess it?s me who
Was always at the side of faded photos on the walls of all the hallways of your mind
Guess it?s me who
Had the wanderlust
Who had to take so long to try convince you I was worthy of your trust
Guess it?s me who
Was trying to flag a ride who you never saw or did not want to ?cos the sun was in your eyes
Guess it?s me who
Became a running joke re- telling stories of the past and living fast on dreams and trainsmoke
Chorus:
And I?m kicking through
Yeh, I?m kicking through the cinders
Somewhere out on the edge of your heart
And I?m waiting on the train to take me
Down home once again so I can
Find my way back to the start
Guess it?s me who
Never had nothing to show but hands full of bootleg dollar bills and contacts in the Sangre de Christos
Guess it?s me who
Always had to know what lay beyond the hills in the magic country where the passing trains go
Guess it?s me who
Can?t take the life no more of campfires on moonlit nights and rain and wind and thriftstore troubadours
Guess it?s me who
Looks a hundred years old now who?s trying to find his girl though all he thinks is who?s kissing her now?
Chorus:
And I?m kicking through
Yeh, I?m kicking through the cinders
Somewhere out on the edge of your heart
And I?m waiting on the train to take me
Down home once again so I can
Find my way back to the start
