Townes Van Zandt - Rex’s Blues Lyrics

By townes van zandt Ride the blue wind high and free She’ll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be If I had a nickel I’d find a game If I won a dollar I’d make it rain If it rained an ocean I’d drink it dry And lay me down dissatisfied Legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes to laugh and lips to cry A restless tongue to classify All born to grow and grown to die So tell my baby I said so long Tell my mother I did no wrong Tell my brother to watch his own And tell my friends to mourn me none I’m chained upon the face of time Feelin’ full of foolish rhyme There ain’t no dark till something shines I’m bound to leave this dark behind Ride the blue wind high and free She’ll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be Townes Van Zandt Lyrics Rex’s Blues Lyrics
