lyrics

1.
I pulled off of the highway
Of the Mexican town
I went walking through
That old plaza downtown
On out past the graveyard
And the outskirts of town
I'll be back when my supplies run down

~chorus~
I'll be back
I'll be back
When my supplies run down

2.
Those dogs are running loose
So I pick up a few stones
And I carry them with me
But the dogs run home
I got some water and food
A bag of goose down
I'll be back when my supplies run down

~chorus~
I'll be back
I'll be back
When my supplies run down

3.
Well my days are numbered
And my race will get run
But these days are eternal
Until my journey's done
I got a one-way ticket
On back to the ground
I'll be back when my supplies run down

~chorus~
I'll be back
I'll be back
When my supplies run down

4.
I'm burning now
A spirit in the dust
I got my life to live
Do the things I must
I'm a wandering pilgrim
They burned my home town
Down to the ground
I'll be back when my supplies run down

~chorus~
I'll be back
I'll be back
When my supplies run down

5.
Now it's late October
October 23
I'm thinking of my ancestors
and what they think of me
I'm headin' westward
Until the sun goes down
I'll be back when my supplies run down

~chorus~
I'll be back
I'll be back
When my supplies run down
