ohio highway

stranded on an Ohio highway
stranded on an abandoned road
i guess he wasnt goin my way
or already had a full load

the dust bowl he warned me of
when he pulled over with his blinkers on
said he was goin to California
then the dust blew and he was gone

stranded on an Ohio highway
stranded on an abandoned road
the vultures they would not fly away
and swooped lower each time they crowed

i felt dizzy by there circlin shadows
and the mean ol' sun was takin its toll
then an indian came on horse without a saddle
and told me he was my soul

stranded on an Ohio highway
stranded on an abandoned road
the horse it began to skip sideways
and the indian was croakin like a toad

then the vultures landed and turned to clay
and as the sun set they began to erode
stranded on an Ohio highway
stranded on an abandoned road
