Thin Line Man Songtext
von Giant Sand

I got a blanket on my back
That keeps a wicked wind down to a mild attack
I got a bottle in the sack
That keeps my deadly mind off the river
That waits below this railroad track

I′m a thin line man, now I just go away
A thin line man, well, I just go away
I lay low when I can
I lay low when I can
I lay low, I lay low

I hear me a radio song from a long time ago
It helps me to move along
When I don't wanna, but I know I gotta go


There′s a dead town on my mind that holds no mystery
Way back down the line, well, that's history
There's a shallow pond there that hides a shiny gun
′Cause I had to leave
Now they all believe I′m on the run

A thin line man, I just go away
A thin line man, you know, I just, I just go away
I lay low when I can
I lay low when I can
I lay low, I lay low

A strange thing pulled me down
Say I wouldn't had to hang if I wouldn′t hung around
Got me a background no one knows
They'll say that′s just the way
For a drifter in this town, this town
