lyrics

A storm came in from the West and blew me to the East
And I hear that boxcar movin’ to the sound of that train track beat
The sky, it wasn’t pretty, the tall grass burnt and bland
Sometimes when you go farther you see great things turned to sand

I’m going down to Jericho land
I’ve got my partner, we’ve got no plan
We’re eight days in and babe if we can stand it
We’ll break our backs to see home again

Last month Stevie ended his life alone in the woods
I guess he was tired of not doing things he thought he would
There was no one there to hear he did not cry
And now the rest of can’t sleep
We just sit around and wonder why

I’m going down to Jericho land
I’ve got my partner, we’ve got no plan
We’re eight days in and babe if we can stand it
We’ll break our backs to see home again

I’m building Stevie a new home to see that he stays
He might not want, but I think he’ll like it anyway
It’s a place in the hills where no one will find him
Where he’ll do what he wills, with this silly old world behind him
[But we’re still beside him]

I’m going down to Jericho land
I’ve got my partner, we’ve got no plan
We’re eight days in and babe if we can stand it
We’re gonna break our backs to see home again

Now I hate to say it, but Stevie’s really gone
And I’ve had a hard time keepin’ on
But if he was here there’s one thing I’d know for sure
Is that it feels so good, to know you’re strong,
To keep the faith, to carry on!

And I’m going down
Again….
Again….
