High Lonesome Hills

Keep on searching
You're gonna forget what you set out to find
Keep staring in the night
You gonna start to think you're going blind
Keep on walking
Pretty soon you find yourself standing still
Just another traveler
Out here in these high lonesome hills

Go from town to town
Seeking shelter from the words that's in your mind
But nobody can free you
From a prison that you yourself design
Enjoy your meal
Pretty soon you're going to have to pay the bill
Ain't nothing free
Out here in these high lonesome hills

How did you get here
That's the question everyone wants to know
How long are you staying
Are you sure that you really have to go
These questions they fill you with doubt
You know they always will
There ain't no easy questions
Out here in these high lonesome hills

You leave right now
You might make it out of here intact
Your hat is on your head
Your shirt and your coat are on your back
There's fire here it's bright
But lord knows it won't keep away the chill
The only way to stay warm is to keep moving
In these high lonesome hills

Fare the well my dear
We'll meet again in some other foreign land
Where each of us might find someone
That we might know and even understand
Until then it's all a mystery
Drink it down until you get your fill
Love's the only sin worth committing
In these high lonesome hills
