Your Love Is My Rest Lyrics - Jimmie Dale Gilmore

These are the words 

That cry out of me in the night 

Like a buffalo herd 

From a shotgun blast scattered in flight 

I got a one track mind 

Going down a one train line 

Living on dreams half the time 

Going west 

I gotta pick up speed 

Just to get what I need 

The end of the line guaranteed 

Your love is my rest 

The coal catches fire 

And I'm down the wire in a flash 

That big old smoke stack 

Is belching out black smoke and ash 

So sad to think of 

Hurting the one you love 

But surely that's what leaving does 

You'd know best 

I gotta pick up speed 

Just to get what I need 

The end of the line guaranteed 

Your love is my rest 

Your love is my rest 

I stand in the land 

Of Custer's last stand and I grin 

So this is where 

Old yellow-hair's ghost-dance begins 

I got the blood on my hands 

Can't even live where I stand 

But I'm just a traveling man 

Cursed or blessed 

I gotta pick up speed 

Just to get what I need 

The end of the line guaranteed 

Your love is my rest 

I gotta pick up speed 

Just to get what I need 

The end of the line guaranteed 

Your love is my rest 

Your love is my rest 

Your love is my rest
