Well, I don't think that the city moves slow enough for me
So I'm gonna leave now, and I ain't showin' no warnings
And I know that mama said her love will always lead me home
But I've been followin' this lonely road for way too long
So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark cold road
I've been dreamin' of a porch swing with some lights
Hopin' I can find myself back home
Now I'm breakin' horses out in Tishomingo
And every night I lay there and wonder where good men's dreams go
And most nights I wonder how far train cars can travel
Or how far a man can go before one's truly unraveled
So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark cold road
And I've been dreamin' of a porch swing with some lights
Hopin' I can find myself back home
Don't jump in so quick kid
You're gonna wind up hurt
She's with a new man in New York the last time I heard
And I know that mama said her love will always lead me home
But I've been followin' a lonely road for way too long
So won't you pray for me tonight?
I've been headin' down a dark cold road
I've been dreamin' of you by my side
Prayin' I can get myself back home
