Back

Wandering Boy Tab

by Rodney Crowell


Come in from the cold, you must be cold

Thread bare against a freezing wind is a short time getting old

Come and sit down, tell me where you've been

Rest your soul beside the fire 'til it's time to go again

         
Take me back
         
One more time
                   
Where the railroad tracks
                  
Meet the kudzu vine
              
Wandering boy




The blood that's flowing through you flows through me

When I look in any mirror it's your face that I see

You're my only brother, I'm your twin

You've come home to rest awhile and shed your dying skin

         
Ease your mind
         
Have no fear
                    
When it comes your time
           
I'll be here

(Not Sure About this)

We are two Houston kids

Selling mason jar lids

With our pop bottles hid
             
By the bayous bend
             
In the wild East End
               
We'll go back again

I used to cast my judgments like a net

All those California *** boys deserve just what they get

Little did I know there would come a day

When my words would come back screaming like a debt I have to pay

         
Lean on me
         
I'll be strong
             
You're almost free
               
It won't be long
