Now I'm sharp and cold as a butcher's knife
Perhaps I'm ready now to take on a wife
I'll let you stab me still and stab me right
Another moment with you and I'll die and die
But I'll be buried well smiling at the sky
My handkerchief rags and my boots are worn
It's a helluva ride from mountain air to lake shore
I'll remember you best under the city's elm trees
As I jumped a train eastbound to Milwaukee
When I left you I no longer knew me
Goddamn these Denver doldrums
The stifling stillness has run me gone
But I lost the map that helped me make my mark
But your face lit me up right from the start
Yeah you were my moon when I couldn't trust the dark
But one day I will come back for you
You're no woman who'd ever run me through
And abandon my heart
Or take me down, won't you take me down?
One day I'll make you scream my name
The miles I put in will coil in shame
It'll be all I need
So take me down, won't you take me down?
