To Kansas

Walking down the highway The devil walks besides me We are going down to Kansas For gods grave to see We're walking under scorching sun We're walking through cold nights Where I go and where I sleep The devil by my side They call me by so many names Not one is truly mine Forgot what mother called me Ago a long long time I am walking with the devil But at least I don't walk alone The devil never leaves me We are one flesh one bone I was there when angels fell I have seen them cry I have seen the mothers run Children left to die And inmidst the darkness I've seen bones so white and small Each one tells a story About a life that's cut too short But lately it's been quiet No new stories have been told Besides me walks the devil And he too looks old I am walking with the devil But at least I don't walk alone The devil never leaves me We are one flesh one bone Walking down the highway The devil walks besides me We are going down to Kansas For my grave to see
