Six weeks in, working for The Man Packed up, took the first train out of town Had enough, had to leave this place Duck out of sight and leave no trace Town after town, folks are the same Show me kindness then I forget their names Wanderlust runnin’ through my veins And a question that remains Is there a place for me on this God’s earth? If I keep moving I’ll get there someday What is the price that freedom’s worth? When things go south, I head north And they call me the wanderer You’ve seen me passing through your town Always the stranger, I don’t stick around I come and go, never here to stay Loneliness my only friend Only a backpack to my name And the wandering planets in the sky to guide my way But Betty-Jane, she wasn’t like the rest She put my convictions to the test She saw the cure to my restlessness In her loving embrace Is this the place for me on this God’s earth? Is this the price that freedom’s worth? The siren’s calling me to settle down So I took the night train out of town And they call me the wanderer You’ve seen me passing through your town Always the stranger, I don’t stick around I come and go, never here to stay Loneliness my only friend Only a backpack to my name And the wandering planets in the sky to guide my way An hour out, a change of heart The planets send me a twinkle of doubt Toss my bag, I jump the train And start walking south, back to my Betty-Jane Now she calls me her wanderer You’ve seen us walking through our town I was a stranger, then I stuck around I came by, never thought I’d stay Loneliness my only friend Only a backpack to my name And the wandering planets in the sky to guide my way And the wandering planets in the sky to guide my way

They called him a bad apple, the terror of the town But Billy crossed a line the day he shot the Padre down He saddled up and bailed, I was hot on his trail And he wasn’t going to no damn jail I had a bullet to deliver Send him straight to hell He crossed the county line to Yuma, robbed a church and left the sheriff dead When he heard I was a-comin’, he cussed up a storm and he fled But I will track him down if it’s the last thing I do To the ends of this world and the next one too Watch out, Billy Blizzard I’m coming for you Billy you’d better run, run I’m coming for you Billy you scoundrel, you son of a gun I knew someday with the wolves you’d be runnin’ Now on a father’s honor, Justice will be done Billy you’d better run, run You son of a gun I’d searched for him in vain when a lone rider come my way He’d seen the outlaw up the creek, hiding at the break of day I rode my filly fast as I could He was done running, I would get him good When I came around the willow There he stood He said, Hello, Papa, you rotten old man I’ve been dreaming of this moment for a long long time Prepare to meet your maker I said, no, Son, you’re mistaken Because it’s high time, I reckon... you be judged for your crimes He moved quick as a rattlesnake after all that was said His shot scraped my cuff, and mine went straight to his head He fell down in the mud The water turned red Billy fell down, down The boy was dead Billy you fool, you son of a gun Broke my heart but now the deed is done You won’t be running with the wolves no more Billy you were a son, son Billy you were a son, son You were a son of a gun

She’s stealing glances at your photograph that we framed on the shelf She was telling me all about prom just now when suddenly her eyes are wet She holds back tears as she comes near Throws her arms around me And says, Dad, do I remind you of her? I tell her, you do, sweetheart, you do And darling, it’s true She looks just like you And baby I know she’d make you so proud She’s so much like you Independent and strong She gives me the strength to carry on And baby I miss you so much We both do Ever since you’ve been gone I’ve been heartbroken that you left me But thankful you left me someone Who reminds me of the love I knew She looks just like you She turned eighteen last Friday, we had us a special night Eating her favorite ice cream, cracking each other up and sharing old memories She’s now the same age that you were when I took that photograph That summer morning that’s forever in my heart When you said I do, I do Until death do us part She’s got a way about her that takes me by surprise The way she has my taste in music but your eyes The way she cheers me up when I cry Just like you used to With that beautiful smile I’d recognize anywhere And oh baby she’d make you so proud She’s so much like you Independent and strong You made me promise to carry on But baby I miss you so much We both do Ever since you’ve been gone I’ve been heartbroken that you left me But thankful you left me someone Who reminds me of the love I knew And oh baby I miss you so much I do Ever since you’ve been gone I’ve been heartbroken that you left me But thankful you left me someone Who reminds me of the love we knew She’s the best thing that you gave me And she keeps alive the memory of you

She turns around and walks away from me And disappears behind the gate I realize that she was a mystery And all I’m left with is a memory I walk back to the car, when it suddenly dawns on me That life is like a book sometimes There’s twists and turns, and to make sense of what it means You have to read between the lines And did you ever have this doubt Wake up wondering what it’s all about And who says that you have to try To never disappoint, never say goodbye When the plot thickens and the stakes are high Don’t you worry, just keep in mind That in the end the stars will align It’s written right here between the lines It’s written right here between the lines The weeks go by It gets kind of busy here Sometimes I get a little sad When I reflect and I think back on my old friend And all the good times that we had I look up at the stars, when it suddenly dawns on me This book is not what it appears You turn the pages, but to read through to the end You must conquer all your fears But how many times did you have this doubt Wonder what it was all about And who says that you have to try To never give up, never question why When the plot thickens and the stakes are high Don’t you worry now, don’t you cry Cause in the end the stars will align It’s written right here between the lines It’s written right here between the lines It’s written right here between the lines It’s make-believe, it’s just a story that we tell ourselves Remember that and you’ll be all right Look within yourself, not through the eyes of someone else And you’ll learn to read between the lines
