Lyrics

A little mystery to figure out why the pain’s sitting by her grave
And such a memory to think about when the old man started to say:
“I’m so in love with you and now I’m just backed off of the edge
I want to ride with you onto the train tracks up ahead
I will roll this broken car right onto the tracks
And meet you where the world is not so black”
For a time she turned around and shot that old look from her eye
And for a moment he swore he saw his little Alabama pie
‘I want to marry you beneath the sweet soft southern sky
And I want to lie with you until the day that I die
I will hold you in my arms ‘til the morning’s light
You and I will know where we sleep tight’
Well I’d die a thousand times to open up my eyes
And find that I’ve been sleeping, dreaming right there by your side
I’d get up from my bed and hold you in my hands
And tell you all about the tears and how I could not stand
I will love you everyday
And I will miss you everyday
I still smile when I think about the old stone sitting by her grave
It’s been awhile but I’m not too far from the day I started to say:
“I’m so in love with you and now I’m just backed off of the edge
I want to ride with you onto the train tracks up ahead
I will roll this broken car right onto the tracks
And meet you where the world is not so black”
Well I’d die a thousand times to open up my eyes
And find that I’ve been sleeping, dreaming right there by your side
I’d get up from my bed and hold you in my hands
And tell you all about the tears and how I could not stand
I will love you everyday
And I will miss you everyday
And I will roll this broken car right onto the tracks
And meet you where the world is not so black
