Ride the blue wind, high and free
I'm chained upon the face of time
A restless tongue to classify
I'm bound to leave the dark behind
If I won a dollar, I'd make it rain
Leave you low, come time to go
Tell my mother, I did no wrong
And lay me down dissatisfied
All born to grow and grown to die
Well, if I had a nickel, I'd find a game
Leave you low, come time to go
She'll lead you down through misery
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
There ain't no dark till something shines
And tell my friends to mourn me none
Tell my brother to watch his own
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
Alone and low, as low can be

Well, ride the blue wind, high and free
Songwriter: Townes Van Zandt
Alone and low, as low can be
It's legs to walk and thoughts to fly
If it rained an ocean, I'd drink it dry
She'll lead you down through misery
So tell my baby, I said so long
Alone and low, as low can be
