Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner
With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older
Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue-tied
And I wish I had more time Listening to you speak your mind
* Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force
Thinking 'bout her every day On my mind atypical way Are you a life force
Drinking coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher
Without falling out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years
And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night
And it's blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind
I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later By and by
Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue-tied
Pulling my belt tight It's just me and the stars tonight
Two fingers and a tide line Keep my head head above the alpine
Just wish I'd spent more time Listening to her speak her mind
