Forty years in the wilderness, getting to know the beasts
Projected and reflected [G]
on the greatest and the least
Forty years of days and nights, angels hovering near
Kept me moving forward, though the way was far from clear
They said, take up your load, run south to the road, [C] turn to the setting sun
[Am] Sun going down, got to cover some ground [G] before everything comes [Bm] undone
[G]

Forty years in the wilderness, dancing with the flies
Dazzled by the visions rolling out before my eyes
Angel-made graffiti, demons in disguise
You could trade away your birthright for another day's supplies
Or you could take up your load, run south to the road, [C] turn to the setting sun
[Am] Sun going down, got to cover some ground [G] before everything comes [F#m] undone
Take up your load, run south to the road, [C] turn to the setting sun
[Am] Sun going down, got to cover some ground [G] before everything comes [F#m] undone

Rising with the height of land, falling with the crowd
Spirits in the scouring wind called my name out loud
Said, you could go to heaven, you could go to hell
You could hang out in between in the place you know so well
Or you could take up your load, run south to the [C] road, turn to the setting sun
[Am] Sun going down, got to cover some ground [G] before everything comes [D] undone
Take up your load, run south to the [C] road, turn to the setting sun
[Em] Sun going down, got to cover some ground [G] before everything comes [D] undone
Comes [G] undone
