Lyrics

Mercy me...I'm long gone and blind
I went blind on the day John Wayne died
The kettle cries through the champagne moonlight
While the city sleeps this ain't no western gun fight

Though a twenty-five person town
Ain't whistling dixie
Caught the bullet train to the stars
Into Nashville..straight down to where you are
I landed myself in a hole and it ain't going to quit
It's a mighty old song with a lot of life left to it

Astrology...the lost soul's philosophy
Dead western movie stars as far as the eye can see
You read the angel of the odd
The paragraph's incomplete
The pistol's pointing at my heart
Yeah, the silver's working deep into me

Though a twenty-five person town
Ain't whistling dixie
Caught the bullet train to the stars
Into Nashville..straight down to where you are
I landed myself in a hole and it ain't going to quit
It's a mighty old song with a lot of life left to it
