WHITE MUSIC song lyrics
by Joel Sattler


seventeen years living on the road
seventeen years with a heavy load
seventeen years in the shadow time
seventeen years of a life of crime

I was only just a stupid kid
didn't understand what it was I did
Dad woke me up said I packed your axe
just keep moving and don't look back

now every day is the dark of night
nothing I do will ever make it right
I don't even know the name of it
all that I know is I'm desperate

racing a sun that is cold and black
every one thinks I'm a maniac
the road that I'm on doesn't have an end
the life that I live doesn't have a friend

where the wind blows is
where I am going
all that I know is
that I don't know

seventeen years on the Devil's trail
if I can't catch him by the tail
then I will be beyond all hope
might as well swing from the lynching rope

when will I ever catch my breath
when will I ever capture death
am I forbidden to ever stop
and will I ever reach the top

maybe tomorrow see the light
in the place of the music white
then I will have a moment's peace
before my heartbeat has a cease

play the white music
play the white music
play the white music
for me
