Cross and flowers by the side of the road In the hour of long shadows A faded name, hard to read Lost in among the weeds I see dice rolling Out of a hand unknown I believe they are loaded Long before they are thrown With an old guitar in his hand He left home hardly a man Town after nameless town Nobody to slow him down He ran from love like it was fire As the years rolled on by Until one night out of the dark Love blindsided his heart But she said, I know your kind Road men you're all alike Always just pa**ing through I'd be lonesome with a man like you I see dice rolling Out of a hand unknown I believe they are loaded Long before they are thrown I the dawn's young gray light White line arrows hypnotize It's alright close your tired eyes Said the soothing voice inside Cross and flowers by the side of the road In the hour of long shadows A faded name, hard to read Lost in among the weeds I see dice rolling Out of a hand unknown I believe they are loaded Long before they are thrown
