Orion

Headed home, not a second late I got a head of steam up on the interstate Can't look back at the things I've seen In the rearview mirror is a vicious dream Black sky thundering a mile ahead And I'll take back every little thing I said On the horizon is my destiny And right beside me, the one who's gonna set me free I got money in my pocket, a pick-me-up switch I got the Friday evening itch Took my look right off the shelf You know I'd do nothing to you I wouldn't do to myself Calling out to me as I leave Is that you, honey, tugging at my sleeve? I need a rider, like a pair of wings Hold me tighter, forget I told you anything I did wrong, baby, with you in mind I did wrong, baby, to the ties that bind I did wrong when you asked me for help I did wrong, I couldn't keep it to myself I did wrong, baby, with you in mind I did wrong, baby, through the old grapevine I did wrong, I couldn't do it by myself I did wrong, baby, and I need your help Alone inside my hotel I learned my lesson well Only ever fell For the ones with a story to tell Take my lighter, keep it out of the breeze The moon is risen, it's a sickly green Doesn't take but one hand to steer And I think I can take it away from here I got Orion in my window pane I set fire to anything that did remain
