LYRICS
It took a mighty blow to crack me to the core
To finally come to know I could ask for more
I’ve wondered all my life, why I felt so alone
Trying to survive, how could I have known?
Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame worthy
Left stumbling in the dark, I had to go within
So I traced my scars, back to where I’d been
A diamond in the dirt, perfectly concealed
Down beneath the hurt, it’s been so hard to feel
Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame worthy
I walked through a wall of fire
Left behind the only life I knew
No way back, no place to hide
When a voice came through
Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame worthy")

LYRICS
Steam Train Maury died last night his wife Wanda by his side
Caught the Westbound out of here hopped the high irons to the by and by
They say he jumped ten thousand trains rode a million miles for free
Helped out at VA hospitals and penitentiary’s
Dandy Dave, Rusty Nails and Sweet Lady Sugar Cane
Dead Eye Kate and the Baloney Kid raise their cups tonight in Steam Train’s name
Senators, congressmen, puppets on a string
Among the windswept vagabonds Steam Train was the king
The last of the hobo kings, the last of the hobo kings
Bums just drink and wander round tramps dream and wander too
But a hobo was a pioneer who preferred to work for food
He knew how his nation’s doing by the length of a sidewalk cigarette butt
Born with an aching wanderlust embedded in his gut
Hounded, beaten, laughed at, broke chased out of every town
With a walking stick scepter and a shredded coffee can crown
The last of the hobo king, the last of the hobo kings
The last free men are hoboes Steinbeck said, and he paid cash
The stories that he bought from them helped him write the Grapes of Wrath
But boxcars have been sealed for years and trespassers do time
And the railroad yards are razor wired and hoboing’s a crime
So here’s to you Steam Train Maury hold that Westbound tight
As you ride off into history the last hobo, the last ride
The last of the hobo king, the last of the hobo kings")

LYRICS
Under water, under the well under glass, under a ground swell
Chasing bliss, chasing my tail chasing desire, straight down to hell
I couldn’t love, could not forgive didn’t know how to live and let live
My choices were few on the ledge, looking up at you
Over drawn, over fed, over run, over my head
I held a grudge, I held a gun, held contempt for everyone
I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t learn I didn’t flinch when bridges burned
I was lost, through and through on the ledge, looking up at you.
I lived alone, I lived in rage I lived in darkness inside a cage
On the fringe, a refugee I couldn’t trace it back to me
I grew mean, I grew small I grew tired of it all
I couldn’t tell false from true on the ledge, looking up at you.
Out of luck, out of time out of control, out of my mind
Running scared, running down running low to the ground
The blows were hard, the blows were mean
The blows were low, the hits were clean
I was left black and blue on the ledge, looking up at you.")
