Rest My Bones
A weary wanderer follows the road, carrying lost love, regret and nowhere to call home.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I got an ache in my heart
And my mind is a wreck
She was my reason for living
Now she's my every regret
Verse 2
When I was down on my luck
She dragged me up on my feet
Well now she's wastin' my time
And I'm flat broke on the street
I've been walking for days to find some way to forget
I don't know where I'm going but I ain't there yet
Chorus
I got nowhere to rest my bones
I got nowhere to call my home
No place to lay my weary head
A wanderin' soul until I'm dead
Guitar solo
Verse 3
I got the devil to pay
He's riding right on my back
I burned the bridge to the past
And now there's no turning back
I've been walking for days, can't find no way to forget
I don't know where I'm going, but I ain't there yet
Chorus
I got nowhere to rest my bones
I got nowhere to call my home
No place to lay my weary head
A wanderin' soul until I'm dead
Outro
I got nowhere to rest my bones
I got nowhere to call my home
No place to lay my weary head
A wanderin' soul until I'm dead
Instrumental
Well I've been walking for days to find some way to forget
I don't know where I'm going but I ain't there yet
