Your Neck of the Woods - Sleepwalking Lyrics
I've got faith in my legsI trust in the chalk of my bonesI'm a woman a coyote and a tumbleweedrolling into dust at a leisurely speedSome say I've got no directionBut the sun's passing shadows don't point homeSo I ramble down the railroad in my slumberPast the truck stop diners on the roadWhere I can see my reflection in a greasy spoonAnd in the face of every waitress wishing to howl at the moonI've been sleepwalking down the tracks all nightAll the way from Belle River to the Cincinnatti lightsDreaming in my cap and slippers, marching down the lineNever wake a sleepwalker, let her take her timeThere used to be monsters in my nightmaresNow I see my demons in the daySo I walk about the boondocks in the darknessLet the moonlit garbage lead the wayI smell like engine oil and the tin-can streetsBut I ain't no locomotive I ain't runnin out of steamA preacher told me I was born a sinnerAnd salvation was found in holy lightBut I'm soiled with a dirty mouth and a dirty mindAnd I hope my hands stay dirty 'til the day that I dieI've been sleepwalking down the tracks all nightAll the way from mell river to the cincinnatti lightsSleepin in my cabin slippers marching down the lineNever wake a sleepwalker, let him take his timeI've been working on the railroad all the live-long dayI've been working on the railroad to pass my time awaycan't you hear the whistle blowing, rise up so early in the morncan't you hear the whistle blowing, Dinah won't you blow your horn?I've been sleepwalking down the tracks all nightAll the way from mell river to the cincinnatti lightsSleepin in my cabin slippers marching down the lineNever wake a sleepwalker, let me take my time
