Song For Martin
In Rough Rock, Arizona, he lived for many years alone
A gangly kid from Colorado who could sing the sweetest songs
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years ago
He moved to Arizona in nineteen sixty one
Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun
Marty I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired
Mart I know I let you down somewhere
I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
I always knew the paths we walked, we were meant to cross again
We talked on the telephone maybe once or twice a year
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear
I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
But somehow I can hear, it struck my heart as well
For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I'll never know
Marty I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired
Hey, Mart I know I let you down somewhere
A gangly kid from Colorado who could sing the sweetest songs
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years ago
He moved to Arizona in nineteen sixty one
Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun
Marty I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired
Mart I know I let you down somewhere
I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
I always knew the paths we walked, we were meant to cross again
We talked on the telephone maybe once or twice a year
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear
I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
But somehow I can hear, it struck my heart as well
For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I'll never know
Marty I know it got lonely out there
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
The heart that sorrow broke in you could never be repaired
Hey, Mart I know I let you down somewhere
