Joe Grushecky's album version
The hawks in the sky are screaming, the sand is dripping blood
In the twilight's last gleaming, feel like Noah before the flood
And why did this has to happen, don't see any end in sight
I hold on to my family, pray everything's gonna be alright
It's like a long and lonely highway, all dark and covered with snow
And my tank is damn near empty, I got a thousand miles to go
And I'm dancing with the devil in the fire down below
And I'm praying for the morning and I'm searching for my soul
And I'm searching for my soul, well I'm searching for my soul
Hey!
Why can't I find an answer, why can't I cut these ropes
Well I was waiting for someone to tell me that there's still reason to hope
And I felt that bad wind blowing all the shit in from the sea
Please god release me, why can't you let me be
It's like a long an lonely highway, all dark and covered with snow
And my tank is damn near empty, I got a thousand miles to go
And I'm dancing with the devil in the fires down below
And I'm praying for the morning and I'm searching for my soul
I'm searching for my soul, well I'm searching for my
Hoo! Whoa!
The sky was full of lightning, there was a mighty thunder crack
I began to see things clearly, the world was lifted off my back
The Buddhist and the Muslim, the Christian and the Jew
And we all must live as brothers, well there ain't no chosen few
Whoa!
It's like a long an lonely highway, all dark and covered with snow
And my tank is damn near empty, I got a thousand miles to go
And I'm dancing with the devil in the fires down below
And I'm praying for the morning and I'm searching for my soul
Well I'm searching for my soul
Well I'm searching for my soul
Whoa! Well I'm searching for my soul
Yeah, I'm searching for my soul
Well I'm searching for my soul
Yeah, well I'm searching for my soul
