Iron Wine - The Rooster Moans lyrics

Crack of dawn the rooster moans

Wake up boy you’re far from home

Serpentine the tracks in flames

Longest path the devil laid

Led you straight aboard this rusty train

Lift your head cuz you can’t sleep

Bite your lip cuz you can’t eat

Darkest den the devil made

Jesus weeps but he’s been paid

Not to ride inside this rusty train

Buzzard’s breath the rooster moans

Stow it boy you’re far from home

Stow your sorrows stow your fear

What’d you do to end up here

End up on the devil’s rusty train
