Lyrics:

Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I cant decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I aint got
One salty dime, one salty dime

Just close your eyes it wont take long
It wont hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by Im a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
Im a tumbleweed, Im a spit roast
Just turning in your flame
Oh my darlin Kathleen
Oh my darlin Kathleen

Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I, I wasnt here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin Kathleen
Oh my darlin Kathleen
