Rex's Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

ride the blue wind high and free 

she'll lead you down to misery 

leave you low come time to go 

alone and low as low can be 

if I had a nickle 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 

tell my sister I said so long 

tell my mother I did no wrong 

tell my brother to watch his own 

tell my friends to mourn me none 

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 

chained across the face of time 

feeling full of foolish rhyme 

there aint no dark 'til something shines 

I'm bound to leave this dark behind 

ride the blue wind high and free 

she'll lead you down to misery 

leave you low come time to go 

alone and low as low can be
