SEND ME DOWN THE LINE
[Verse 1]
Streets of this town are empty
And the world's a midnight blur
By morning I'll be making time
A thousand miles from here
And the dashboard clock runs restless
ticking the hours away
Between love, despair and happiness
Keep making the same mistake
[Chorus]
My eyes are closing but
I can see the signs
All roads are open so
Send me down the line
[Verse 2]
Seen those fields of fury
Reminds me of faded old blue jeans
Burning flags and silver guns with
Flowers in between
And all the time I'm thinking, man
I can't believe myself
Falling so far, so fast
Like a bucket down a well
[Chorus]
My heart is open as I
Dare to sip her wine
All roads are to nowhere so
Send me down the line
[Verse 3]
Sometimes when you're lonely
And there's no place to go
Except to jump into some stranger's arms
And listen to the radio
All songs of strange ones that I've
Never heard before
With no bridges that have no chorus
Just three repeated dangling chords
And truth is understanding and
Sometimes it's hard to find
[Chorus]
All roads are shadow so
Send me down the line
[Verse 4]
Couldn't hear the final words
They rang like a mission bell
Between anger, resolution
Between this life and living hell
And seconds became hours
And days became years
Anger became loneliness
And the lonely cry no tears
Can't keep holding on
You see I'm out of time
[Chorus]
All roads are destiny so
Send me down, send me down
Send me down the line
Send me down, send me down
Send me down the line

The suno version is much more polished. but the original has a rawness to it :)

Like that opening. Both visual, and get's you right into that 'travelling song' vibe.
That refrain 'Send me down the line" works a treat
Great drifter song.

Nice song.
Verse 4 well written.
i like this line too "And truth is understanding and
Sometimes it's hard to find".
