No Way Out but Down Right as rain red as rust Brick by brick I turn to dust No I never had a name that you could trust Of all the deeds I've ever done I am not proud of a single one So let me rot beneath the burning sun I'm on my way I'm on my way My shack burnt down and my cows are gone And this old mountain is all I've got Well I never had a prayer anyhow I've gone to the well but the well was dry And I tried to cross the river but the water was high Now I lay me down on the railroad ties There's no way out but down I've got a dream that never ends The world goes black and cold and dim And I can't wake up until it's light again I'm on my way I'm on my way There's nothing left of me to save So I'm going back from where I came I'm on my way I'm on my way
