The Devil's Engine - I Mother Earth

Here in the down and low

A mean tussle in New Mexico

Ain’t fightin' for much I know

You rise, some rights… you roll

So long San Bernadino

You were no friend of mine

Here’s one for your tight young guns

And one north for a ride

I’m outta love, so tired and wearin' out

I’m outta love, slow goin' down, a fighter failing

For every dope I know

There’s a mother load of good intention

I’m outta love, I might head for home

Where highway 7 ends… man down

Man, I could have killed someone

Hello Ontario

From Blackwater out to Mountain Grove

A rumble in every town

The meat does shake the hounds

Your sweet Canadian women always blowin' my mind

They hunt in the autumn time

Oh my my, they’ll eat your heart alive

I’m outta love, so tired and wearin' out

I’m outta love, slow goin' down, a fighter failing

I’m every broken hope

I’m another dope, the devil’s engine

I’m outta love, I might head for home

Where highway 7 ends… man down

Man, I could have killed someone

For all that I’ve done, for all that I’ve said

Lord knows I was a travelling man

I could have killed someone

With my mind at rest

Yeah, my dream is dead

To fade, to wholly hear the head bell

To break and know that it’s the right time

To wave and go

My light is kinda low, all heartbreak and bones

And now I chat with shadows in this ghost of a town

I ain’t got the fight, it’s alright

Smoked all my herb and drank all my wine, had a lay, a good time

I’m alright…

Where Highway 7 ends… man down

Man I could have killed someone

For all that I’ve done and all that I’ve said

Lord knows I was a travelling man

I could have killed someone
