Song For Jack lyrics

On your back in a boxcar train With a jug of wine in the pouring rain Northward bound, San Francisco Bay Santa Barbara Line, up through Monterrey Under the Bixby Canyon Bridge Ride like the wind into the night Black as a ghost raven in flight It won't be long until you're gone Into the fog born from the sea Out on the road lost in a dream It won't be long until you're gone Fly free Up all night popping benzedrine With a burning mind and 47 keys You shook the world so indefinitely With you brilliant, beautiful insanity All of us are forever changed Go ride like the wind into the night Black as a ghost raven in flight It won't be long until you're gone Into the fog born from the sea Out on the road lost in a dream It won't be long until you're gone Fly free What is a lonely road If it doesn't lead you home? Just into the unknown On your back in a boxcar train With a jug of wine in the pouring rain
