The Rooster Moans

Crack of dawn the rooster moans Wake up boy you're far from home Serpentine the tracks in flames Longest path the devil laid Led you straight aboard this rusty train Lift your head 'cause you can't sleep Bite your lip 'cause you can't eat Darkest den the devil made Jesus weeps but he's been paid Not to ride inside this rusty train Buzzard's breath the rooster moans Stow it boy you're far from home Stow your sorrows stow your fear What'd you do to end up here End up on the devil's rusty train --- The Rooster Moans - Iron and Wine
