Shadowland - Steve Earle

Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows

There’s a place there lonely fools can go Where if you hold your money, it’ll burn your hand

So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland

Down the highway, down the road I’m bound

And my heart keeps poundin’and the wheels go 'round

And it’s a hard place for a mortal man

And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland

Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own

My right hand was thunder and my left was stone

Now I ain’t as handsome as I was back then

So I’m takin’my chances in the shadowland

Been down a thousand highways and they’re all the same

Another empty place where I can hide my shame

And there’s a heartache waitin’up around the bend

For a lonesome stranger in the shadowland
