Wind Swept Down

Johnny Cash/EmmyLou Harris style
From Denver to Bovina,
I swept up all the birds
From there onto Arriba
the favor was returned ~

And the wind swept down
all around me
The wind blew down, all around.

White and black the landscape, it was
like a photograph
The road was iced and mounded
with winter at my back~
Chorus.

Saw a tractor trailer, it was
jackknifed in the ditch
Saw another overturned
and prayed for those unhitched
Chorus.
Bridge:
Found my speed at thirty til they closed that bad boy route
Got behind some semi's totin' goods to paths down South.
Like a herd of cattle, one by one, made the bridges
Mosyin' slowly...Found my way that day in holy inches.

And the wind swept down
all around me
The wind blew down, all around.
