Born to the road Fire under his skin
They'd say, Slow down Jed it's time to settle in
Heroes were gone And the whiskey wore thin
Jed killed a man and he never came home again

And he'd say, every day the river grows higher,
and I can feel the wind blow harder,
and each night the fire burns stronger,
but the night will always know,
that I'm just another soul.

The people looked on, as the devil snuck through.
They saw some things a man could never do.
And Jed was sworn to a hillside angel,
he said he killed a man and made him let her go.

And he'd say every day the river grows higher,
and I can feel the wind blow harder,
and each night the fire burns stronger,
but the night will always know,
that I'm just another soul.

Come on Jed Stone you can rest your sad bones, down by the riverside.
When you are afraid just close your eyes and drift away.
I'll be waiting just the same, just the same.

Born to the road, nowhere left to begin.
Just to drift his eyes in the face of the southern wind.

And he'd say, every day the river grows higher,
and I can feel the wind blow harder,
and each night the fire burns stronger,
but the night will always know,
that I'm just another soul.

Come on Jed Stone you can rest your sad bones, down by the riverside.
When you are afraid just close your eyes and drift away.
I'll be waiting just the same, just the same.
