spoke to a ramblin ghost last night sat at the bar on the edge of the hazy light there was no life left in his eyes he said to me life was unfair ran his wrinkled fingers through his grey and thinning hair and shouted, "Why? Oh Lord I tried, I really tried, to be a good man on the outside oh Lord I tried, to do whats right but this poison ate me up from inside. She was my wife, my shining light. I had too much to drink and she was alone the night she died. I threw away our living days, with a mind set on the bottle I wish to God I'd just fade away. And I ask him Why? Oh Lord I tried, I really tried, to be a good man on the outside oh Lord I tried, to do whats right but this poison ate me up from inside. Let me tell you son, if she's the one, then you put down that glass and you go on home let me tell you son, you know this girl is the one so buy me another round and get your ass on home."

wrote a letter late last night tried to tell the truth but it sounded too contrived try to change the way I think about you now but I've been down pick myself off the ground been fooling myself quit fooling myself been fooling myself I burned a letter late last night one you gave to me on that cold winter night try to change the way I feel about you now but I've been down pick myself off the ground been fooling myself quit fooling myself been fooling myself going through the motions has worn my patience thin time to move, time to start kicking round again tell that girl she can have it, I'm through with thick and thin just don't come down looking for me, don't you come round this way again

left the plane all a wreck just come back from a funeral seeking comfort from a girl back in colorado she said I found someone better and I thought you ought to know pack your bags this home ain't yours no more no more no more tape an angel to the dash in the hopes that she'll get me home all the passes are closed make your way down to new mexico three inch of ice they weren't lying when they said this road was closed 2000 miles to Jersey cuz I've got nowhere else to go dear cecilia please hold together through this winter storm two nights at a roadstop cuz the winds are too damn strong called collect to some friends couldn't tell me where I went wrong one more night of a thousand spent all alone, alone, alone dear kansas where's that beauty that you rarely show endless miles of grey clouds lay upon the open road burning fields cuz some rancher couldn't keep it in control smoke filled eyes help me cry thats what I'm told I'm told I'm told state patrol pulled me over to the side of the highway i know he lied when he said it was because of my cracked window he said "son is there something inside about which I should know?" I said "yeah, my whole life" and he let me go go go missouri flotsam from last night's three tornadoes the barns cut down there's nothing left in the cilo the boys outside starting to clean up their ruined lives I passed em by cuz all I could do was drive drive drive drive drive do my best to keep my tires between the yellow and white two more states to go so I drive on through the night the hills of green PA nice to see a familiar face tired of following route eighty towards my final resting place I make a pit stop in a fading memory looking for a drink and a bit of company a Ford jumped the corner and took out Cecilia's nose I turn my eyes to the sky and I wonder when this trip will end
