Transcendental Meditation Blues

[Verse 1]
In my hurry
I can't ever seem to get nowhere
When I play it out
Close my eyes and I am halfway there
All I carry
Is this remedy to see you again
So I'm sending out
This signal that I'm traveling to you as fast as I can

[Chorus]
To the crowded station gate
A month of Sundays just to make it through
Another window in this terminal wait
There ain't no easy way to pay these dues
Save for these Transcendental Meditation blues

[Verse 2]
I don't worry
The old Black man beside me's got a smile on his face
And though I'm weary now
I know that this old Greyhound bus has seen better days

[Chorus]
Damn this Dixie highway run
Old dead dog in this Trisco shoes
A dollar short and the same old song
There ain't no better way to send the news
So I sing these Transcendental Meditation Blues

[Bridge]
When I'm broke down are you waiting?
Are you waiting with the porch light on?
Do you wonder will I always just be too long gone?

[Chorus]
The river's wide and the valley low
Miles to go and mountains to move
Bended life for my only one
Through the brambles and the broken avenues
For these Transcendental Meditation blues
