lyrics

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
