The album closes with Real Dead Man’s Blues, a reflective farewell built on cosmic and sacred imagery, stars, a baby’s smile, and Mary’s eyes among them. A weary traveler searches through memory for a lost loved one, moving past youthful anger toward quiet acceptance. Rather than framing death as defeat, the song presents it as peaceful surrender, urging listeners to hold onto love and speak their truth while there is still time.

Real Dead Man’s Blues lyrics
Walking down the road
With my head in my hands
Was walking down the road
With my head in my hands
Was feeling confused
I wish that I could understand
Well, was walking all night long
Couldn’t find you, no, no
Was walking all night long
Couldn’t find you, no
They told me you are here
I’ll find you one day you know
I looked for you in the stars
And in a baby’s smile
In the eyes of Mary
Please don’t go please stay a while
There’s so many things
That just have to be said
There’s so many things
That just have to be said
So better say them now
You can’t say them when you;re dead
I looked for you in the stars
And in a baby’s smile
And in the eyes of Mary
Please don’t go please stay a while
I looked for you n the shining stars
And here in a baby’s smile
And in the eyes of Mary
Please don’t go please stay a while
Please stay a while
Wish I had the power
To change what’s wrong to right
Wish I had the power
To change what’s wrong to right
But just who is stronger
I’ve lost all my will to fight
It’s time to bid goodbye
Don’t let go of my hand
It’s time to bid goodbye
Please don’t let go of my hand
I’m at peace with myself
Once was an angry young man
It’s time to bid goodbye
Don’t let go of my hand
It’s time to bid goodbye
Please don’t let go of my hand
I’m at peace with myself
Once was an angry young man, Lord
Yeah play that rockin guitar boy
Coz I got the Real Dead Man’s Blues
You better believe it
