lyrics

Do you wake to find your life unwind
Same picture every day
There must be more on a far off shore
Why would you want to stay?
But the road is cold, dark and old
So this is what I say
Listen hard 'cause yard by yard
It took my life away

Trucker's stops and coffee pots
A waitress trapped in time
Years of dust and old red rust
Another glass of wine
Gunmetal days, forgotten ways
To lose this soul of mine
Red leather booths and country tunes
I can't get off my mind

Fields of grain and summer rain
To wash away the dirt
But a hundred miles of frozen smiles
Can't take away the hurt
Winding lanes and weather vanes
Faded in the sun
Empty barns, abandoned farms
Where wild horses run

Angry skies and false goodbyes
That leave me with a lie
Leaning poles on dusty roads
As the trucks go rolling by
Old cars in yards, a wind so hard
It will take your breath away
Rotting dreams and headlight beams
That turn the night to day

The cold green eyes and soft warm thighs
Of the girl that I've just paid
To keep me warm and calm the storm
From the mistakes that I've made
Motel rooms, the truth that looms
This is not the way to live
Lessons learned, bridges burned
I can't take more than I give

Soft leatherette, another cigarette
The last one in the pack
I can't restore what I had before
I can never bring it back
Neon bars a Dome of stars
But drink can't kill the ache
Stood outside as worlds collide
And the mist rolls off the lake

A sea of graves, Jesus saves
But he looked the other way
But just the same I called his name
Helped keep the ghosts at bay
So if you see me passing by
A cold light in my eyes
Please toss a coin into my cup
To pay for my sunrise
