    Lyrics
    BALLAD OF WILLIE

    Willie was a nervous man
    He wasn't sleeping right.
    Left his home for the open road
    One warm September night.
    In the echoes of his footsteps
    As he walked the darkened town
    Was every choice he ever made
    And every dollar he laid down.

    Darlin' don't you cry for me
    I've been wandering alone
    These seven years.

    While his wife lay sleeping
    He rode a southbound train
    And the wheels rolled to the rhythm of
    The pounding of the rain.
    And each town that fell behind him
    To be swallowed by the night
    Was like every dream that failed him
    In the pale blue morning light.
