20 Jan 1997 TIME OUT OF MIND FRAGMENTS:    TIME OUT OF MIND SESSIONS (1996-1997)    THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 17 #1 (2022 remix)

Time Out of Mind sessions, Criteria studios, Miami FL - 20.jan.1997, album version Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone lets me ride Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til someone lets me ride If I can't find my baby, I'm gonna run away an' hide. Well I been pacin' round the room, hopin' maybe she'd come back Pacin' round the room, hopin' maybe she'd come back Well I been prayin' for salvation, layin' round in a one-room country shack. Gonna walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed Gonna walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed 'Til there's nothing left to see, 'til the chains have been shattered and I've been freed. But I been lookin' at my shadow I been watchin' the colors up above Lookin' at my shadow, watchin' the colors up above Rollin' through the rain and hail, lookin' for the sunny side of love. Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same I keep on walkin' 'til I hear her holler out my name.

Time Out of Mind sessions, Criteria studios, Miami FL - 12.jan.1997, BS17 v.1 Gonna walk on down that dirt road 'til somebody lets me ride Gonna walk on down that dirt road until somebody lets me ride If i can't find my baby, i'm gonna run away an' hide. I been pacin' round the floor, hopin' maybe she'd come back Pacin' round the floor, hopin' maybe she'd come back I been prayin' for salvation, i been hangin' around in a one-room country shack. Gonna walk on down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed Gonna walk on down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed 'Til there's nothin' left to see, 'til the chains have shattered an' i've been freed. Well, right up ahead i see a flash of light I’m wonderin’ why the flowers on the trees are so white People all around me droppin’ like flies I got the miseries of the world in my eyes Well, i been slidin' on flat ground watchin' the colors up above Rollin' through the wind an' hail, lookin' for the sunny side of love. I walk on down that dirt road until everything turns real Gonna walk on down that dirt road until everything turns real I'll keep on walkin' 'til there's nothin' left to feel. Well, i'm carryin' an umbrella an' i'm usin' it for a cane I seen the houses of the holy boys, and the palaces of pain Well, i'm all dressed up an' i'm never late It's all i can do to keep my head on straight I been slidin' through the sea of mud, feeling like my brain turned into sand I gotta keep on walkin' 'til I know just exactly where I stand. Gon’ walk down that dirt road until everything becomes the same Walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same I’m gonna keep on walkin' 'til i hear her holler out my name.
