Late night and a bottle of bourbon Song after song, reading cocaine Quarter to five in the morning The poetry hits me like a train I hit a dry spell lately Can't think or breathe Got nothing to show her But I'd trade fifty new songs For fifty hangovers It seems like a simple reward but oh lord I can't take the drinking Sometimes a man on a stage hears his soul Straight up and humble, sober control And finding her eyes in the lines He shivers and whispers a song Sometimes a still drunken voice just sounds right flows like water, in waves of the night Your mind it becomes a gun fight, a ghost write Seems like a moment of truth Is it still worth something if it's just gonna be gone

Hand me over my boots Put something else on the radio Start driving fast Get me outta this place Outta this place Far away Outta this place Hangin’ around with the same old crowd And its bringin’ me down Get me outta this stinkin’ town Outta this place Far away Outta this place Don’t say something you don’t mean Cause I know what you’re thinking Don’t pour me another one Cause I’m on my way Outta this place Far away Outta this place Hand me over my boots Put something else on the radio Start driving fast Get me outta this place

Breeze on my knees and the big ol' trees and oh they keep swayin Grass on my jeans and a big plate of beans and oh this is livin It's gonna happen I can tell Sun keep rising every mornin It's gonna happen I can tell I got a girl in the civilized world and she never has time for singin Gonna bring her up the hill, show her how to feel and oh we'll be ringin It's gonna happen I can tell Sun keep rising every mornin It's gonna happen I can tell It's gonna happen I can tell Sun keep rising ain't it easy It's gonna happen I can tell

Hey baby when I let you go I never knew I'd be so lonesome without you Hey baby when I let you go I never knew I'd be so lonesome without you Hey baby get you back again, I got no use for these other women Hey baby get you back again, got no use for these other women Hey girl you know it's right, I think about you every night Hey babe you know it's true, I made mistakes what did I do? The feeling grows day by day, I know I let you walk away The feeling grows day by day, I know I let you walk away Hey baby when I let you go I never knew I'd be so lonesome without you Hey baby when I let you go I never knew I'd be so lonesome without you

I wrote this for you a long time ago The words were different, the melody slow I do know that I loved you baby, who knows maybe I still do But it's hard to find and it's bad timing She's been up to here, oh my golly Rain on the sidewalk The lines are battered The pavements bruised It's a slow capture A blissful muse I know he knew ya I know he did Tried to wrestle all the forces I traded Watching white clouds raining Timeless memories fading I remember our conversations Lazy lust, youthful dilation It's just drifting smoke, fire fading embers I should have told you baby, and wrote you that letter She's been up to here, oh my golly Rain on the sidewalk The lines are battered The pavements bruised It's a slow capture A blissful muse Damn friction and fire eaters Douse the flames with brave completion Twisting backwards Wind cheaters Blind love A simple vision

I know you're feeling bad I feel bad for you You're caught down at the bottom Of a deep dark pool A deep dark pool of love I'm glad I'm not in your shoes I can't offer any advice Let's hope you find a way to break free Maybe you'll cut a hole in the ice Of the deep dark pool of love Well once I was in love And I thought it was according to plan On the day that she left me I took a dive ohhhh man Into the deep dark pool of love

Truth in my saddlebags, dusty crystals I threw away I couldn't read in to them, unknowing I round the bend I move along the way, love I had I'll never see again What difference does it make out here on the range? On a deep still lake a bird spreads its wings Over an endless wall, down waterfalls I move along the way, love I had I'll never see again What difference does it make out here on the range? Back in the town again In a bar with my faithful friends I saw you standing there Long blonde hair

A poor boy lost, for his choice he's paid the cost He can't go back to his Mom and his Dad Take me back home Show me the way Lay me down on top of that hill Where the pale morning sun took away the evening chill Take me back home Show me the way Take me home I don't wanna roam no more But for now I ride this train, its just to ease the pain I don't know what state I'm in, Texas, a dream or Wisconsin Take me back home Show me the way Take me back home Show me the way Take me back home Pull me of this train Take me back home I need to get some rest some day But back at home I would be alone
