Blackie The Rodeo Kings Vigil Lyrics

Vigil Lyrics

Jenny ran along beside me 



With a handful of roses 



And a red petal caught in her hair 



She said some never know 



When their last friend is gone 



You look out and there's nobody there 







30 days I've been driving 



Never once going home 



Sleeping rough in the back of my car 



And the nights when I was drinking 



I would sit by the phone 



And lose all my courage at the bar 







CHORUS 







On the darkest highway 



On the hardest road 



On the weary vigil 



We keep alone 







So if I turn the whole thing over 



One more time in my head 



Will that memory fade over time 



Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man 



And her eyes looking straight into my mine 







CHORUS
