The night is so long and you're hearing my song As you sleep at the side of the road Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load? The days turn to ash with no cars whizzing past Where only the strangers belong The desert is wide, and then once you're inside You are hypnotized by its song With a guitar to strum, the ghost sticks out its thumb But it no longer hopes for a ride Just shuffles along to the beat of the song To lie down by the river side, dreaming.... Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load? The night is so long and you're hearing my song As you sleep at the side of the road Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load? With silence to ponder it's hard not to wander Your mind becomes vacant and free No matter the cost, all who wander are lost Swallowed up by the sagebrush sea Your forever host is the roadside ghost And it's broadcasting now on the breeze You'll see there's no choice, there is only the voice: "Follow me, follow me, follow me....." Singing Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load? The night is so long and you're hearing my song As you sleep at the side of the road Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?
