Riding on down the open road
I'm on a straight line
Yeah I was on my way to the holy ghost

When the devil rolled by

From the fire to the ashes the angels call

To find a home
Didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
Now I'm waiting all day long


For a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song


Write it all down before you die
The lesson I'm learning

Yeah I was soaking wet in a cold black lie
That I couldÂ've been burning


Like a choir from the rifle the bullets sing
To find a home
I don't care whatever you think the future brings

That'll only take too long

Like a century song

I'll sit and wait for a century song

From the fire to the ashes the angels call

To find a home
Didn't know what I had had till I found it gone
Now I'm waiting all day long


For a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song


Like a century song
I'll sit and wait for a century song
