Lyrics:
Atlanta's a distant memory
Montgomery a recent blur
And Tulsa burns on the desert floor
Like a signal fire
I got Willie on the radio
A dozen things on my mind
And number one is fleshing out
These dreams of mine
I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt and light
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonight
In Nashville there is a lighter
In a case for all to see
It speaks of dreams and heartaches
Left unsung
And in the corner stands a guitar and
Lonesome words scrawled in a drunken hand
I'm travelling paths travelled hard before
And I'm beginning to understand
That I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt and light
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonight
They say that I am crazy
My life wasting on this road
That time will find my dreams
Scattered dead and cold
But I heard there is a light
Drawing me to reach an end
And when I reach there, I'll turn back
And you and I can begin again
I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt and light
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonight
I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt and light
Before I sleep
But I wouldn't trade all your golden tomorrows
For one hour of this night
Atlanta's a distant memory
Montgomery a recent blur
Tulsa burns on the desert floor
Like a signal fire

The Cowboy Junkies are a band that plays the kind of music that is a salve for deep painful wounds. One of my all time favorite bands.

[@isey6c29]

One of the greatest songs ever!

[@southerner66]

This whole album still sounds as gorgeous and timeless as ever. I don't know how many times I've listened to it.

[@suelui6194]

My late former colleague, David, loved the Cowboy Junkies. He passed away suddenly at the age of 50 on May 17th. Wishing you Godspeed into the next world, buddy. You are missed more than you know. Rest in Power.

Great album to listen to in a tent on a rainy night

[@inlandindieP35]

I bought The Trinity Sessions second hand in the spring of 1994 at age 20. It wasn’t my cup of tea at the time but in a totally rare moment of functional forethought, I reasoned I may come to like it one day. By the early 2000’s that CD lived in my car, frequently playing in November and December, seemingly at home in a time of lengthening darkness and quiet contemplation.

[@bluegregory6239]

One of my 15 favorite albums of all time.

Great song and a great album

Like feather drifting, in a gentle breeze.

Timless yet so part of the late 80s...reminds me of all the great music on Vh1 late at night

Love this song! Travelled across the Nullabour listening to the Trinity Sessions...

Crush

[@michaeleichlin5692]

Endlessly cool .

[@konradherrmann3213]

❤️

[@deathxcountry]

maybe this is completely obvious, but after reading the lyrics to this song i interpreted it as the story of margo going on (a) tour and leaving her love behind, as shes compelled to chase her dream, regardless of how profound it may seem to her significant other. its beautiful simplicity, a beautiful song.

[@dankaradave]

If you get stuck in the desert make sure you have water, jacks and this cd

[@dankaradave]

Been there done that

[@Fretless99]

Great song. Margo Timmins has such a sexy voice :) ...sigh...

[@dankaradave]

I was just try’in to get back to the desert floor like a signal-fire

I'd love this song so much more if Margo knew how to pronounce asphalt.

[@jimclinton3518]

It's a Canadian thing...

[@sueswanson3494]

Oh get over it. Enjoy the song jerk

[@bluegregory6239]

@@jimclinton3518 It's a Canadian thing. I'm an American who thinks this is one of the best albums ever made.
