Lyrics
Purgatory Blues
From 'Songwriter's Collection: Volume 1'
Sitting on a stone, killing some time
Somewhere in the distance a finish line
Going down to Juarez, walk around a week or two
Nothing left to lose when you got the purgatory blues
Waiting on a train, crying in the rain
Goddamn I don’t need to feel this pain
Going downtown, buy myself a round or two
Nothing left to lose when you got the purgatory blues
Drop me a line, show me a sign
Baby, I been living on borrowed time
Paying that price, being too nice
Why the hell did it happen twice?
Locked up in a cell, looking for a key
Waiting on a day, I’ll be running free
Trading these prison boots for running shoes
Nothing left to lose when you got the purgatory blues
