riding on down the open road
I'm on a straight line
yeah I was on my way to the holy ghost
when the devil rolled by
from the fire to the ashes the angels call
to find a home
didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
now I'm waiting all day long
for a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
write it all down before you die
the lesson I'm learning
yeah I was soaking wet in a cold black lie
that I couldve been burning
like a choir from the rifle the bullets sing
to find a home
I don't care whatever you think the future brings
that'll only take too long
like a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
from the fire to the ashes the angels call
to find a home
didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
now I'm waiting all day long
for a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
like a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
