six and a half hours into the west virginia night

i can't start to count the things i said i'd never be

that one look at the end

that one look at the end

that ran it through
G Em D G
the big gray owl above me starts again to wail

says that moon has got so low tonight that it's polishin' the rail

now that mountain engine's runnin' about thirty years too late

i wonder where tomorrow's going to be

tonight when i am rolling over the earth's most lonesome ground

that the light would come shining through
