He Gprays his eyes stay open on the Cadd9long and lonesome road
He Glives his life through daydreams of the Cadd9girl he had known before

There's no Guse in being angry so Cadd9long as he makes it home
He sings "If AmI, CI could Gturn this around toDnight
I'd Amdrive, drCive back Gto my old town Dlife
And when EmI say that I Cmiss you, I Gknow it don't mean Dmuch
But AmI'll see you again, my LoreClei
DI, I Gwill, Cadd9I will"
He Gpulls the brake of his big rig and gives his Cadd9boss his last regards
Takes a GGreyhound back to his hometown, to the Cadd9steps of her old front yard
He's Gsent to Graveyard Boulevard, where he Cadd9finds her at the top of the hill
He Gmouths the words "Will you marry me?" Her Cadd9tombstone reads "I will"
He sings "If AmI, CI could've Gasked you out that Dnight
I'd have Amled a different Clife, and Gmaybe you would be my Dwife
But Emnow I sit here Cmissing you, and I Gknow it don't mean Dmuch
But AmI'll see you again, my LoreClei
DI, I Gwill, Cadd9I will, I Gwill, Cadd9I will"
He Gain't scared of death, he greets the eCadd9nd
He Gain't scared of death, he greets the eCadd9nd
He Gain't scared of death, he greets the eCadd9nd
He Gain't scared of death, he greets the eCadd9nd
Well I Gwill, Cadd9I will
Well I Gwill, Cadd9I will
Well I Gwill, I will
Well I will, I will
Well I will
