Transcendental Blues

In the darkest hour of the longest night If it was in my power I'd step into the light Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe Walk upon the water, transcendental blues Happy ever after 'til the day you die Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes Wishin' you could stop it ? transcendental blues If I had it my way, everything would change Out here on this highway the rules are still the same Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues
