[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am7
And as I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
                                 C
The desert sky, she flies by for miles
Am7
And as I keep walkin'
People keep atalkin'
                                  C
About things they've never seen or done
Am7
Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
                              C
I myself just move on through town
Am7
Moon keeps on shinin'
And the rich keep on dinin'
                                C
And, oh, how I love the highway sun
    Dm
And out to the back
    Fsus2                    C
The poet writes his songs in blood

[Interlude (1)]

Am7 C Am7 C          Am7
           Where the coyotes are callin'

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Stars keep on fallin'
                           C
Your mother, she won't be around
  Am7
A feather blows down the road
And the wind is cold, your wings are broke
                                C
And your heart is livin' on the run
Am7
Lonely and wasted
Her eyes replaced it
                                    C
And I don't think I'll make another mile
Am7
Town to town I run
My horse ain't too drunk
                           C
The wind is singin' to the sun
    Dm
And out to the back
    Fsus2                    C
The poet writes his songs in blood

[Verse 3]
---------------------
        Am7
But the jukebox is barkin'
I'm just gettin' started
                             C
I've yet to see the light of day
Am7
Senoritas lose it
To the Mariachi music
                            C
'Cause New York is too far away
        Am7
And the band keeps on playin'
With beer bottles breakin'
                                        C
And the barmaid, I heard she pulled the gun
Am7
Poet takes a pistol
Points it at this sister
                          C
Says, "Honey, your day is done"
    Dm
And out to the back
    Fsus2                   C
The poet writes his song in blood
Dm
Out to the back
    Fsus2                   C
The poet writes his song in blood
