Eastern Continental Divide
Well I found no satisfaction In the lies I told to you Anything is better than the cumberance of the truth So I stole your last gold dollar Took everything I could find Went out west to gamble Drink out the trouble in mind
I crossed that deep muddy water The last of my dignity and pride Watched them hit the bottom Of that eastern continental divide
Now I plead hearin your mercy For the shame I brought on us all A beggar in the arms of charity Like Adam after the fall And I leave you my apology Though I am doing my time I never meant to hit the bottom of that Eastern Continental Divide
I thought I'd make our fortune Make something out of nothing again Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Like I did when I first loved you When I was an honest man Now my eyes are blacker than burned out tires As I walk to the rising sun Too far gone for turning around Nothing left to be won
Across that great smokey mountain From Tennessee to South Caroline Faded into the bottom Of that Eastern Continental Divide
Now I plead hearin your mercy For the shame I brought on us all A beggar in the arms of charity Like Adam after the fall And I leave you my apology Though I am doing my time You never will get over That Eastern Continental Divide That Eastern Continental Divide
