I had a dream last night, a black rat in my bed
I had a dream last night, a black rat in my bed
Now you’re gonna tell me what that means now, baby
Or I’m gonna tell you instead
Well I’ll sleep here tonight, but tomorrow I’ll be gone
I’ll sleep here tonight, but tomorrow I’ll be gone
You see, this bed that I’ve been lying in
It just don’t fit me no more
I saw a rattlesnake this morning, walking just like me
I saw a rattlesnake this morning, talking just like me
And it said “I ain’t scared of nothing-I’m only scared of me”
From under rocks and things, they all go east.
From under rocks and stones and dirt and bones, they all go east
And they’ve been calling my name
They say that’s where I aught to be
So I’m gonna light a fire, and burn this place down
I’m gonna light a big red fire, and burn it down to the ground
Just because I’ve been living here
Don’t mean that’s where I’m bound

There's only one track on this whole album I don't adore. The other nine would be my favorite track on almost any other album they stumbled into. "Years" is like the perfect Best Of album for a band that's been steadily putting out records for decades.
